Liam Spence and Nik Mills shut down the Bacchus/Newport batters with solid pitching and scored two hits each at the plate.

Werribee: Matthew Howe 1H, Lachlan Swann 1H, Scott Xerri 1RBI, Tehiva Kavakura 1H

This was a quality game, despite the final score. Matthew Howe started on the mound for Werribee and threw well against a good Guild hitting line up, as well as recording a hit himself and making a good double play. Tehiva Kavakura and Scott Xerri also pitched for Werribee and threw strikes. Tyson O’Keefe threw 3 quality innings for Guild, allowing only one run, whilst recording 2 hits himself. James Wood also had 2 hits and Dylan Allitt had a good hit early in the game. Andrew Medew finished the game on the mound for Guild who were too strong overall for Werribee, who nevertheless should be proud of their fine season.

The Bears while soundly beaten in the batters box pitched and fielded well to restrict the Lions batters to 11 runs for the day.  Courtney Blake and Fionn Stannard fielded well for the Bears, while Brad Hockey and Kyle Judd performed well on the mound.

On the weekend of 19 and 20 July, Geelong was very proudly represented by two teams at the Under 12 Victorian Provincial Baseball Championships at Boneo. 


Both teams performed very well with all players contributing 100%. It was very easy to see by the smiles on these little guys' faces that a great weekend was had by all. 


In Division 2 we had 4 players selected for the All Star side. They were Lachlan Stott (shortstop). Quinn O’Malley (pitcher), Jamie Young (catcher) and Nicolas Watt (second base). This was a fantastic result for this young team! Coaches' reports.


Well done to both sides.

Lara 19 defeated Guild 18

Guild and Lara played a very tight game of baseball, with both team’s hitters working hard to get on base. The difference between the two sides was the fielding at the end of the game. Lara had two great plays in the field at third base to shut down the potential winning runs from Guild. Ethan Jolly collected several safe hits with one being a stand up double to left field. Quinn O’Malley was a very good all round performer for Lara, hitting the ball hard and setting up many plays on base for his team.

Saints' "Ash's Army" hosted Newport Rams on a sunny Saturday morning at Pioneer Park. Coming off a good win the team was looking to improve on their form of the week before displayed against Guild. Jesse Bennetts who got the start against Guild was given the start against Newport and gave a solid couple of innings against a good Newport hitting lineup. Jesse Bennetts and Chris (Ranga) Regan once again showed another good outing as a pitcher catcher pair. The team was once again very good offensively with every inning producing base runners and scoring opportunities but unfortunately couldn’t capitalize on them. Although the margin was a bit of a blow out there was good signs for the Saints team. 5 players recorded safe hits Jordan Isbister (1 RBI), Jesse Bennetts (1 RBI), Jordan Hunter, Mitch Thomas and Luke Flavell (First hit for year) all recorded hits while the rest of the team produced good at bats and displayed good base running. Stand outs in the field was Kyle Williams at short stop who made some outstanding and important outs and Chris (Ranga) Regan displayed the catching skills that show a promising future behind the plate. Once again a solid outing but the team will look to bounce back next round.   GO SAINTS!!!!! (Thanks to Saints for this detailed report....Editor).

Bellarine travelled to to play Saints and both teams were keen to score some runs and pick up a win.  Saints started strong with Alistair Chandler pitching and striking out the first three hitters, and then managed to score 1 run in the bottom of the first innings before three straight strike outs from Bellarine starter Brad Hockey ended Saints' batting innings.  Bellarine then had a strong second dig scoring 4 runs before Saints came back with 6 runs to maintain the lead at 7-4.  Bellarine scored 2 more runs in their third innings before the game came to a close.  Both teams struggled to pitch consistent strikes which also meant for few hits in the game. For, Bellarine Brad Hockey, Lachlan Stott and Tom Crooks each had a hit.  Good efforts from Bellarine by Brad, Lachlan both hitting and pitching, and Kyle Judd for his hitting.   While for Saints some great work came from Alistair pitching, Georgia Cashion and Lachlan Taffe combined for a great out at second base and Lewis Crichton did a great job catching.
