DIVISION ONE v Sth Districts at Don Klaebe Field Tue 14/01/25
Lost 1-13
The two top teams at the head of the table in a shootout, and what a fizzer it turned out to be. We let them in early and they took full advantage and made us look flat in the third when they piled on six followed by three in the next and another two in the fifth, to enable the umps to call it early. We had been mercied. Not what you want in the lead up to the pointy end of the season. Breandan Taheny provided a glimmer of hope with a bomb in the last. We used three pitchers - namely Troy, Drew and Greg and they found it difficult to contain the Hawks' hitters. Hits : Breandan Taheny (HR), Drew Janssen, Alfredo Rodriguez 1.
DIVISION ONE v Henley & Grange away Sat 18/01/25
Lost 3-4
This game, against another top team, was in complete contrast to the one a few days ago. This was a great contest all day, with the two pitchers going at it and both defences holding up well. We were witness to some great catches in the infield in the third when Troy snared one and Cesar took two blinders. No scores until their pitcher put one over in the fourth, but we replied with three after we loaded the bases and Hayden obliged by his double enabling three to cross the plate. Shortlived however as a two run bomb tied the scores. AJ took to the bench after nine strikeouts in a gutsy effort and they luckily snared a run in the seventh to take out the game. Gave ourselves a chance in the last when Cesar singled and Drew walked, but that was that, and we rued the fact that we left so many runners out there - close to a dozen for the day. Hits : Drew Janssen 2, Hayden Carroll, Cesar Perez, Troy Nicholson, Jose Castellano 1. So, two games against H&G this year - a one run win and a one run loss - bring it on.
DIVISION TWO v Henley & Grange away Sat 18/01/25
WON 13-5
Largely untroubled in this one with Declan in control, relieved by young Ryan at the death. Two-hit Tommy was at it again with a scoring double in the second, and Ryan's single knocked in two, but a three run homer by Alfredo proved to be a highlight. Then after they walked him in the next Manny's double got another three on the board, and Jose loved the vibe and got his hitting mojo back. Solid win. Hits : Jose Castellano 3, Alfredo Rodriguez (HR), Tom Dineen 2, Joe Papps, Amando Ramirez, Ryan Stredling 1.
DIVISION THREE v Henley & Grange away Sat 18/01/25
WON 10-7
Started the game in sparkling form with Luke, Will, Elvin and Seb all putting on a hitting show. But the fourth was the killer innings with everybody getting in on the act after Amara took a nasty knock to the elbow, with Kossi and Diesel both hitting doubles to post eight big ones. Diesel did the job from the mound and we finished the game with a classy double play. Hits : Luke Taylor, Diesel Fallon 2, Will Stock, Jose Ramirez, Elvin Avila, Josh Boden, Kosuke Ikeda 1.
DIVISION SEVEN (Red) away v West Torrens
