DIVISION ONE
Twilight v West Torrens away Tue 16.01.24
Lost 0-3
The Eagles scored two in their first, and we were in with a chance when Finners doubled to put Wade on third, but we didn't capitalise on the opportunity. Again he singled in the fourth and Cesar advanced to third, but we hit into a double play and that was the end of that chance. We let them get another cheeky run in the sixth, and once again we got a man to third - this time Greg - but didn't get him home. Disappointing. Drew went the distance and the hits were : Mitch Fienemann 2, Cesar Perez 1.
DIVISION ONE
Away v H & Grange Sat 20.01.24
Lost 4-5
Bit of a bummer this, losing to the undefeated top team by the barest of margins. There was some terrific, tight baseball played by both teams with no score until they got one in the fourth. Wade's putout at third and Callum's bunt being standouts, and of course Drew's three run homer in the sixth, which saw us in the lead, as AJ showed his mettle stopping their scoring with bases loaded. The scores were equalled next dig with a two run effort from the Rams, and a two run dinger in the next put them in the lead. We managed one in return but that was our lot, and we went down fighting. AJ did nearly seven, and Cesar closed. The hits were : Drew Janssen (HR) 2, Callum Park, Troy Nicholson, Mitch Fienemann, Wade Moore, Nick Kuhn 1.
DIVISION TWO
Away v H & Grange Sat 20.01.24
Lost 8-17
We lost Declan Quinn our starting pitcher in the first with an arm problem, which put us behind the eight ball, and we let them in and gave up runs until we settled, and in a fine effort, young Diesel Fallon found himself on the mound as a kid and threw two scoreless innings. Our bats came alive in the fourth with a Dave L walk, a Papps double, a Heeny walk and an AChap two RBI single, a Nathan N RBI, and we were motoring when Kuhna got into the act also. The weight of runs were too much, but we didn't lie down, as Nathan and Manny scored us three in the last. Hits : Nick Kuhn, Nathan Nicholson 2, Armando Rameriz, Joe Papps, Andrew Chapman 1.
DIVISION THREE
Away v H & Grange Sat 20.01.24
Lost 3-10
As in the Div Two game, we lost our starting pitcher early - this time after two innings. Ollie Hayes and Kossie were forced to stand in, and the going was tough. A bit of joy in the third when Aldo singled, as did Elvin and Kossie got one home. In the last, Ollie showed his class by bringing in two. There was never a lack of encouragement and enthusiastic talk all game. Hits : Ollie Hayes (triple), Aldo McCormack, Elvin Avila, Josh Boden 2, Kosuke Ikeda, Damian Wall, Luke Taylor 1.
DIVISION SIX
Lost to West Torrens 2-4 in a game that went down to the wire, and they were a bit stiff to lose. Gomez led the way with the bats with a great triple to kick-start the game, and Andrew Eime had two hits, and Doggy 1, Jake Wilson 1 and Brett Kelly 1. Doggy was terrific all game from the middle.
DIVISION SEVEN (Blue)
V Adelaide Red (reigning Premiers)
Lost 1-6
Big improvement, especially in defence, backing up a superb seven innings pitching effort by Casey. Good to see Sully back and involved in a great double play with Cuz and Fitzy. Loaded the bases a few times, but couldn't get 'em home. Hits : Cuz 2, Nicko, Sully, King, Doggy, Cam, Behr, Casey 1.
DIVISION SEVEN (red)
V East Torrens.
Lost 3-14 with only Soung Kim and Steve Saunders recording hits.
WOMEN'S LEAGUE
DIVISION ONE
At Don Klaebe Field Sun 21.01.24 v Glenelg Lost 5-14
We got two in the first on the back of Alyssa's giant hit to the centre field fence, another in the third off another Alyssa hit and two more in the last, once again involving Alyssa. So five RBI's in a "Man of the Match" performance. We didn't play all that badly as the score would indicate, but were just a little bit off. Good to see Darna fit and on the mound. Hits : Alyssa Lasscock 2, Amara Quinn, Louise Pelle, Ella Forrester 1.
DIVISION TWO had a bye.
JUNIORS
SENIOR LEAGUE DIV 2
Won 9-2 against Port after a slow start opened the flood gates to win comfortably. Diesel pitched very well and Oliver Van Dommelle lead the way with 3 hits. All players reaching base throughout the day and showing off speed by stealing bases at every opportunity.

We also welcomed a new player to the team, Arlo, who showed us that he'll be a valuable addition to the team after making an OB appearance at his first at-bat ever in a baseball game.
