DIVISION ONE Away v Adelaide Sat 11/01/25
WON 10-1
It was AJ's game - pure and simple - six digs, eleven strikeouts, one measley run. As one of his adversaries was heard to say immediatley after the game - "AJ was on fire! Line up for the three votes AJ! The batters and also the defence certainly deserve a huge mention, as we got on top of their pitching all game and let them know we were fair dinkum in the field with some sparkling plays. Hayden's big double got Wade home after his first of four hits, and Greg had an RBI of his own, and not to be outdone , Callum's nice deep double allowed Cezar to score him, who had a QAB in the next to frustrate the Angels. Then we got a lazy five in the seventh after a Taheney bunt caused all sorts of panic with a wild throw and consequent mayhem, with Wade hitting a double, an intentional walk for Drew, then a Troy double for a couple more runs. More runs in the next - Wade again, Taheny again and hits galore. A treat. Drew took the mound for a couple of easy innings, and Cezar closed. Hits : Wade Moore 4, Callum Park, Cezar Perez, Troy Nicholson, Hayden Carroll, Greg Bravo, Breandon Taheny 1.
DIVISION TWO Away v Adelaide Sat 11/01/25
Draw 3-3
Declan was at his best on the hill and stepped down at 3-1 up after four. He showed his class at one stage by getting himself out of a jam with full bases and allowing no runs. Good stuff. Tom Dineen got the ball rolling for us with his hit in the third, and Greg certainly kept the pressure on with a single of his own. We got three in that dig and didn't appear to be in any strife until they got one down the third baseline to knock in two at the death to even the ball game. Hits : Greg Bravo 2, Todd Dunstall, Joe Papps, Alfredo Rodriguez, Tom Dineen 1.
DIVISION THREE Away v Adelaide Sat 11/01/25
Lost 5-11
Lost it at the start with eight runs to the opposition - first four unearned. Young Will started and didn't have it easy, so Amara replaced him and Aldo had a go. Credit to Coach Davey Lodge who kept a cool head and young Seb found his way to the mound and calmed the farm, keeping them quiet and let our bats have a go at catching up. Luke's terrific triple following Jonah's hit to left field and we were away, knocking in four for the dig and Jose Rameriz kept it going. In all, a satisfactory second half to the game, but obviously the damage had been done. Hits : Luke Taylor (triple), Will Stock, Jose Rameriz (double), Kosuke Ikeda, Aldo McCormack, Amara Quinn (congrats on the inclusion in the State Woman's team), Jonah Byrnes 1.
DIVISION SIX At home v Flinders
Went down 6-18 with Jack Davies and Joe Braithwaite collecting two hits each, and Jayden Oakley, Jose Beltran and Casey Moore one each.
DIVISION SEVEN - Red - at home v Goodwood
WON 10-5
I thought they were dead in the water when I left to go the Adelaide game at 4-5 down. Their intrepid scorer, Judy, brought me the news at Adelaide and I failed to believe her until I thought - they are a remarkable bunch of fighters - so really well done. Ding pitched (again), and the hits came from Owen Williams 3, David Ding 2 (both doubles), Aaron Petros, Derek Milne, Brad Atkinson, Kim Hoony 1.
DIVISION SEVEN - Blue - away v Glenelg
WON 12-9
Great win this one coming from 4-8 down with contributors across the board. Andrew Eime gets a special mention for three hits and seven strikeouts, but how about Cuz - three hits and one strikeout in relief. Starting pitcher next week!! Hits : Andrew Eime, Steve Couzner 3, Nick McCormack 2, Tim Fawcett, Gomez, Nat Oliver, Andy Vsong, Peter Page 1
WOMEN'S LEAGUE
DIVISION ONE At Don Klaebe Field Sun 12/01/25 v Kensington
WON 8-0
No score to either side in the first, but our girls burst into full stride in the next with a five run haul, after Smack singled as did Dakota, then a Kelsey double for two RBI's and an Alice B double scored one more. Innings three and four belonged to Alice - the third was three strikeouts bang, bang, bang and the fourth three up and three down.. The girls were all hitting at this stage and we had to endure a l-o-n-g break while rules were discussed, meanwhile
Kelsey helped herself to another double. Hits : Indie O'hazyZschorn, Sarah McMahon, Kelsey Goldspink 2, Amara Quinn, Alice Brown, Dakota Ding, Darna BoersVeen 1.
DIVISION TWO At Don Klaebe Field Fri 10/01/25 v Adel Red
Lost 5-11
The girls kept right in the game and were playing well until the Angels slipped away from us in the third with five runs. We were plugging away, and in fact it was an entertaining encounter, with good play on both sides. Jem's batting was a highlight - loved her sliding technique - with a double and two singles. Di struck out one early and both Indie and Dakota had three each later in the game. Hits : Jemila Dadd 3, Ashlie Stradling, Kym Wilson, Immy Copperstone, Rachel Page 1.
Juniors resume next week.
