Beaut to see the baseball season come around again, but our first outing was at a cold and blustery Southern District diamond, where we didn't have any joy with both our Div One's and Two's going down by the narrowest of margins, and our newly formed Div Three finding the going a bit tough.
DIVISION ONE
Away v Sth District 9.10.21
Lost 4-5 Joel took the new ball and kept them scoreless for the first couple before Cesar made a statement and hit a three run homer to kick start the season. Joel was relieved at the end of four and we still had the advantage 3-2. They scampered around for another three, and while Cesar put another over to sneak closer, we came up one short. Very disappointing, however we have players on the sidelines champing at the bit to get into the game, and this is only game one of a long season. Three Capps votes surely to Cesar for two bombs and a masterclass at centrefield. HitS: Cesar Perez 3 (2HR), Troy Nicholson, Ryan Muggleton 2, Wade Moore, Luke Rackebrandt, Joel Chapman 1. DIVISION TWO
Away v Sth District 9.10.21
Lost 6-5 They had one of our ex-players on the mound and Finners liked the look of him and promptly dispatched him over the fence after Breandan Taheny, in his first appearance, hit a nice double 2-0. The Hawks clawed three back to hit the lead, but our skipper was not done and his RBI put us back in front, albeit briefly as they scored another three and we only managed one in reply to lose by one. Tyson had a good hitout with three innings pitched. Hits: Rhys Owen , Breandan Taheny, Mitch Fienemann (HR), Brayden Marchioro 1.
DIVISION THREE
Away v Sth District 9.10.21
Lost 0-17 The boys (and Carly) tried really hard to adapt to the upped pressure of Div Three after spending last year mainly in Div Five. They will benefit from that experience and will make their presence felt. Joe Chapman toiled away manfully on the mound and it was not until quite late that we leaked runs. Hits: Jimmy Chu, Carly Moore, Josh Boden 1.
DIVISION SIX
Played South at home and lost 7-15 with Josh Mignone, Tim Fawcett, Nick McCormack hitting twice, S Harmer, Casey Moore, I Pedder, Craig Mortimore 1. DIVISION SEVEN
Won 11-7 against South at home with the Birthday boy Lawrie (China) Moore getting three hits on his birthday, Couzner and Fawcett collecting two each, and Behr, King K, Stinky, Rev and Dorney one each. DIVISION EIGHT
WON 15-9 v Glenelg.
Nice way to start the season boys. Had to kick the dew off the grass for the 9.00am start but it was worth it, with all players contributing.
WOMEN'S LEAGUE
Away v ETorrens 10.10.21
WIN 12-1 Very comprehensive victory with Darna to Sarah being an extremely potent battery, and the girls in defence going their job to a tee. Never challenged from the start. Hits: Sarah Mcmahon 3, and one each to Leah Turner, Carly Moore, Alyssa Lasscock, Darna Veen, Megan Boers and Molly Brown in her debut.
JUNIOR LEAGUE (U15)
Lost to H&G 6-15
LITTLE LEAGUE (1) (U13)
Lost to H&G 13-14
LITTLE LEAGUE (2) (U13)
Lost to H&G 10-15
They were up 10-5 at one stage. Anton Kumar pitched well to Luke Fawcett (Third generation Senator) and Owen Davey knocked up getting on base and Riki-Lee Oxenham impressed in her first outing.
