What can only be described as a good game of baseball where everybody contributed toward a good team win.
Peter Hague performed well behind the plate and Geoff Jamieson saw maybe too many plays at second but still was solid as too Peter Forbes at first after a week out of the action.
Fourteen hits meant everyone had a piece of the action.
Darren Jolly 1 from 2, Geoff Jamieson 2 from 3 with 2 walks, Robbie Dineen 2 RBI’s 2 from 4 and Ben Gleeson’s 2 hits gaining 4 RBI’s.
Three of West Torrens old firm players stood from the pack Mark Van pelt getting 3 from five and Brenton Smyth hitting 3 from 4 with a walk but getting an on base average of 1000.
Robbie Dineen also showed his outstanding defensive skills at third including a great double play when we really needed it. He is going to be hard to move from third playing like this!

Reminder to all that the Mouse Cup is being held this Saturday night in the Clubrooms.
A great night is assured for members and their guests at our major fundraiser for the year.
Another reminder that teas are also being prepared on Thursday nights after Senior training. It would be great to see a few more people at the Club enjoying a well-priced meal.
On the menu this week is ???
Teas are now being cooked after Junior training on Friday night and the roster has now been arranged.
This is a good chance to unwind after the working week and mingle with other parents.
Each family will be rostered once or twice a season and are encouraged to lend their assistance or arrange a replacement if unable to make it on their night.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Also a reminder that there is a Halloween night for Juniors this Friday night. Parents are most welcome as well.
After a sound preseason including some solid hit outs vs Kensington, Woodville and an impromptu internal hit out last Thursday night, I feel the Div 1 team is well prepared for our first game vs Woodville at Woodville this Sunday at 3pm.
The road trip to Mt Gambier for 2 trial games vs Kensington was a great success in that it exposed some of our younger guys to senior level baseball for the first time. Although conditions were a little tough with drizzle most of the time I was quietly happy with the way the guys went about their business and the general intensity of both games.
The following weekend trial vs Woodville was up a notch again and gave us a good indication of what we will see from them this Sunday.
Final selection for Sunday was difficult with some line-ball decisions made on positions and it is now up to the players to show why they deserve to hold a place or why they deserve to gain a place depending on their performances in the coming weeks.
After the disappointment of not making the playoffs last season it’s imperative we get off to a strong start and I’m looking for players to rise to the challenge from the very first pitch to the very last.
Get down to Woodville this week to support both the 1′s and the 2′s.
Go you Eagles.

The Social Committee has organised a Halloween Party on Friday 29th October at 6.30pm.
