DIVISION ONE Away v Glenelg Sat 4/01/25 WON 3-1
This game seemed to lack a bit of oomph, just meandered along with AJ not giving their batters a sniff, and we were not much better against their imported pitcher, not scoring until the third when the wily Callum walked, stole, and scored on Drew's hit up the middle. AJ sat down after four, having struck out eight in a fine effort, and after they managed to even the score at 1-1, Drew took the reins and snuffed them out in three peerless innings with four strikeouts. Earlier, we looked the goods but left runners out there too often, with Drew at one stage looking for sunscreen. We finally found our mojo with the bats and Troy doubled to bring one in and a sac fly from Ollie made it three and that was that. A win - not a hugely satisfying one - but a win all the same to enable us to remain on top of the ladder. Let's keep it going. Hits ; Drew Janssen, Jose Castellano, Hayden Carroll 2, Troy Nicholson 1.
DIVISION TWO Away v Glenelg Sat 4/01/25 Lost 1-10
A loss we didn't see coming, with our team looking in good shape and expecting to be keeping the winning streak going. We posted the first run of the game, but that was the medleys, as the bats were put away, in the bat bag, not to be seen for the rest of the day and the opposition, whilst not overpowering our boys, just kept chipping away with runs in every dig to finally give us a bit of a wakeup call. We have to try and hang on to that third position. Hits : Harrison Kiss, Ryan Stradling 1.
DIVISION THREE Away v Glenelg Sat 4/01/25
Lost 4-8
Amara was the starting pitcher and was unfortunately on the end of too many errors in the first, in fact she got five outs in that dig, and then she and Luke both had RBI's in the next to square the game at three each. We looked pretty good at this stage, with Davy back in charge on his broken leg, and we were hitting ok but not crossing the plate. Will, and then Ryan came on in relief, and showed us what fine futures they are looking at. Hits : Luke Taylor 2, Will Stock, Jose Ramiraz, Kosuke Ikeda, Aldo McCormack, Amara Quinn 1.
DIV SEVEN (Red) Home v Sth District

As usual, an entertaining game played in great spirit. Were leading all game, and getting ready for post-game cellebrations, but fell in a hole. Hits : Soung Kim, Owen Williams 2, Aaron Petros, Derek Milne, David Ding 1. Special mention David Ding - pitched the whole game.

WOMEN'S LEAGUE
DIVISION ONE at Don Klaebe Field v Sth District Sun 5/01/25 Lost 8-7
Hard to fathom this one - up 7-3 going into the last and blowing it. We walked two in the first, and they scored them both but we put the brakes on big-time, and evened the scores straight away when Indie reached on an error, Alice B got her home and then scored on another error. Then another two in the next after Dakota hit and Dana advanced her and she reached home on a passed ball and Indie doubled and Alice B had an RBI again. So 4-2 up and some good baseball in the next with Molly walking and Jemila hitting but no run . A three run dig in the next with Indie hitting to first and Amara's double scoring her and Alice M reaching on an error. Seven two at this stage,and Alice Brown had done four really strong innings and had a well deserved breather. The rest is unreal. Hits : Indie O'Hazyzschorn 3, Alice Brown 2, Amara Quinn, Jemila Dadd, Dakota Ding, Alice Morrison 1.
