DIVISION ONE v Glenelg @ Don Klaebe Field Sat 19/10/24
WON 6-4
Genuine good win this one, as I felt we were in control from the get-go, firstly with AJ taking only a miserly nine pitches in the first to sit them down, and then not allowing them to score at all until a single run in the fifth. No more from their batters until the last couple of digs, but we were well served early when Pappsy set the scene with a nice bunt to enable JC (Castellano) to deliver a RBI, followed in similar fashion by Cesar. AJ had a sit after five or so and Troy N took over then Cesar had a throw and let Drew finish. Meanwhile JC doubled to let two more in and Wade had a RBI of his own. All solid stuff - so the season is off and running with two wins on the board. Hits : Jose Castellano 3, Wade Moore, AJ Verastegui 1.
DIVISION TWO v Glenelg @ Don Klaebe Field Sat 19/10/24
WON 3-2
Slow going, and we didn't score until the last to pinch the win in spectacular fashion. Davey Lodge tried to get us going in the second with a towering shot to the fence, but we couldn't make the most of it, and a whack to his ankle slowed him down for the rest of the day. So there we were in the last with two runs down, and after Alfredo doubled and we had runners on, Harry the Hero stepped up with a triple and the three resulting runs gave us the result. Dec was teriffic on the mound until, he like Dave, went down with an ankle and Ollie took up the slack until Nathan closed. Hits : Todd Dunstall 2, Alfredo Rodreguez. Harrison Kiss, Ryan Stradling 1.
DIVISION THREE v Glenelg @ Don Klaebe Field Sat 19/10/24
Lost 4-14
The big difference in the scoreline was that we let them off to too big a start and were unable to peg them back. Eight runs against in the first won't win a lot of games, but we were super competative from that point. Diesal started and Dave took over, and Kossie kept them quiet in the latter innings. Hits : Luke Taylor, Kosuke Ikeda, David Lodge, Diesel Fallon, Will Stock all singles.
DIV SEVEN Red v West Torrens @ Don Klaebe Field
Lost 3-17
Good win the previous week, but failed to keep the winning feeling going. Found a few THH groung balls, and after scoring a commendable three runs in the first, slowed right down.
DIV SEVEN Blue Away v Kensington
Won 6-3
Very good result albeit with a few absences, but everybody pitching in and doing their bit. Casey took over the starting pitcher duties and the big hitters were - M. Gomez 2 doubles, J Oakley i double, N. Oliver 1, C.Moore 1.
WOMEN'S LEAGUE
DIVISION ONE Away v Sturt Sun 20/10/24
Lost 3-4
Great win last week, and we come up against last year's premier team in round two. Never out of our depth with our current blend of youth and experience, we kept pace with them all day and went into the last tied away at 3-3. They scored one to just pip us on the post - no worries - a learning journey. Alice Brown was the starter, and the hits came from Amara Quinn 2, Indie O'HazyZschorn, Dana BoersVeen, Beth Lee, Jemila Dadd 1.
DIVISION TWO v East Torrens @ Don Klaebe Field Fri 18/10/24
WON 13-5
Very convincing win, and Coach Sarah wants to point to the two newbies, namely Rachael Page and Alarna McCormack who acquitted themselves really well. Also our pitchers were teriffic with Alice Morrrison striking out three and Dakota Ding striking out five. Hits : Alice Brown 3, Jemila Dadd, Kym Wilson 2, Ashlee Stradling, Dakota Ding 1, and welcome back to Mackenzie St George who hit a double.
JUNIORS
T-Ball-We had a couple missing on holidays but had 6 T Ballers out for week 1. Thanks to Luke & Chace for helping with coaching.
Pee Wee vs Henley & Grange.
All had a great time from all reports, with 11 players in the team all kitted out in their new uniforms and played well, the coach Chad doing his first game for the year reported it was a very good game and H&G were a good host.
Minor League
The team headed down South to take on the Hawks Navy Team. We only had 7 players for the game and unfortunately went down 8-2. It was amazing to see so much improvement in just 1 week. We ticked off so many firsts for the season. It started with our first piece of contact in the batters box and then followed straight away by our first safe hit of the year. Later in the game we scored our first run and also took our first catch in the outfield. Infielders were great making many put out once again. The magnificent 7 should be very proud of them selves.
Little League - Bye
Junior League vs Adelaide
Lost 8-4
We were down early and it crept out to 8-0, great fighting spirit to claw back 4 runs in our last 3 innings with some excellent team batting and great base running. A good effort from all 3 pitchers Benji Hayes 2 Strikeouts, Luke Fawcett 2 strikeouts and Archie Wallis 2 strikeouts in 1 inning pitched. Some good hitting-Anton Kumar 2 (1 double), Chace Wallis 2 (1 double), Luke Fawcett 1, Archie Wallis 1. With lots of players trying out new positions and roles, they did well.
Senior League vs West Torrens
Won 11-10
After being down for most of the game a big comeback came in the 3rd inning when the team scored 7 runs to make it 10-6, West Torrens weren't done yet getting 4 of their own in top 4th to make it 10-10. With the bases loaded Diesel Fallon drew a walk off walk to make it 11-10. Some great team play and fighting spirit. Good pitching from Indie O'Hazy-Zschorn, Sebastian Bravo & Diesel Fallon. Hits were: Oliver Van Dommelle 2, Oliver Hayes 2, Matt Nanasi 1, Will Stock 1 & Diesel Fallon 1.
