PADRES DROP GAME 3 IN A NAILBITER
Keith Land, Wednesday, 17 March 2010PADRES DROP GAME 3 IN A NAILBITER
For the third time in five days, Redcliffe Leagues Padres Major A Grade and Windsor Royals finished their game with a 6-5 scoreline, unfortunately in favour of Windsor this time. After the Padres won Game 1 by 6-5 on Friday night, Windsor took Game 2 6-5 on Sunday, resulting in last nights decider.
The two sides that finished 1st and 2nd in the competition played a nail biting game that went down to the wire at Lawnton. Padres got off to a shaky start early, giving up 4 runs in the 2nd innings before responding with 4 runs of their own in the 4th to tie the ball game up at 4 all. Going into the 9th, the side trailed 6-4 and clawed back 1 run but could not convert a base runner, the final score ending up at 6-5 to Windsor. Defensively the side played well but the Windsor pitcher threw a good game to keep the Padres hitters off balance. Jay Nilsson picked up 2 hits and six other hitters had hits but not enough to get the side over the line.
The side must now regroup to play the elimination final this week against West’s. Either way the character of the side will be tested to overcome their losses. There is plenty of firepower left in the side and with a home series likely, crowd support could get them over the line for a chance to play in the Grand Final against Windsor and a shot at the title.

PADRES MAJOR A GRADE TO PLAY WINDSOR IN GAME 3 - UPDATED
Keith Land, Sunday, 14 March 2010PADRES MAJOR A GRADE TO PLAY WINDSOR IN GAME 3
Minor Premiers Redcliffe Leagues Padres Baseball Club’s Major A Grade will face Windsor Royals on Tuesday night again after splitting its weekend Major Semi Final’s series. With a spot in the Grand Final up for grabs, both sides showed uncharacteristic nerves over both fixtures played Friday at Windsor and Sunday at Talobilla Park.
Friday night’s game had an exciting finish at Holloway Field, but overall was a game with too many errors from both sides. Windsor led most of the game and had a 3 run lead with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th. But the Padres showed great character tying the fixture up and fighting right to the end in a game they did not look like winning. The game was won in the bottom of the 11th inning after a leadoff walk, a base hit and then scoring on an overthrow from a bunt to win the game 6-5. Danny Dunsdon and Ryan Nilsson with 3 hits apiece were the pick of the hitters in the gutsy win.
Sunday’s return fixture at Talobilla was another exciting matchup with the game seesawing throughout. Windsor scored what would be the winning run in the top of the 9th and Padres could not come back this time, going down by the scoreline of 6-5. Ryan Nilsson’s bat stayed hot with he and Steve Greer picking up 3 hits apiece and Rodney Wodson struck out 7 in his 8 innings of work. But too many walks and errors cost the side the win where they out hit the opposition 11 hits to 5 but could not capitalise on base runners.
Tuesday nights A Grade game game will be Pine Rivers at 7:30 (weather permitting of course).
Major B Grade will now play Wednesday night at a venue to be announced when their scheduled minor semi final with Surfers Paradise was washed out at Benowa. The team, who won the Commissioner’s Cup midway through the season, will play Surfers Paradise.
Minor Premiers SQBL A Grade, went down in an extra innings nail biter to Pine Hills 5-4 in the Major Semi Final at home. It was a good tough game although the side did show signs of a little rust due to only playing 1 game in the last month because of bad weather. They will re-group play in the sudden death final next Sunday. SQBL B Grade also lost their Major Semi to Windsor at Mt.Gravatt. With the score tied up at 5 all after a Justin brown 2 run home run, Windsor forced home 2 runs late to take the game 7-5. The side had its chances early but left too many runners on base. They too will play a sudden death final next Sunday.
In Junior competitions, the Under 20 Red team led Surfers Paradise 6-1 in their minor semi final, before going down late in the game, their season now complete. The Under 16 Division1 went down by 1 run to Windsor at Windsor and will face them again next week in the semi final. The Little League Majors won an exciting fixture 7-6 over Windsor at home, Lindsay Cooper and Sophie Shirley playing well but will finish the season in 5th place, late season washouts costing them a finals berth. The Little League Minor White team beat the Black team 11-10 whilst the Grey team were washed out but they will play in the finals next weekend, having finished in 4th spot in the season proper.

PADRES MAJOR A GRADE CAPTURE MINOR PREMIERSHIP
Keith Land, Sunday, 7 March 2010PADRES MAJOR A GRADE CAPTURE MINOR PREMIERSHIP
Redcliffe Leagues Padres Baseball Club’s Major A Grade has ended the season proper with a 10-0 shutout of Windsor Royals to capture the Major A Grade Minor Premiership for the first time in the club’s history. Although the club has contested the finals over the past few seasons, it has never has qualified in this position before.
With the side just ahead of Windsor in the race for 1st place, the weekend’s series was expected to be a tough round against the well performed Royals team. But the Padres had other ideas and behind Rodney Wodson on the mound, the side was never headed in the matchup at Newmarket on Friday night. Wodson was in complete control, giving up just 3 hits with 10 strikeouts in his complete game win. Offensively the Padres bat came alive pounding out 15 hits for the night led by Daniel Nilsson with 3 hits and Steve Greer, Jay Nilsson, Todd Fairbrother and Danny Dunsdon picking up 2 hits whilst every batter in the line up registering a hit. The side led 3-0 after 3 innings before a breakout 7 run innings in the 4th, led by a Jay Nilsson grand slam, was too much for the opposition to overcome. Despite the win, the side still has room for improvement, leaving 9 runners left on base in wasted scoring opportunities.
Sunday’s fixture was washed out but would have had no bearing on the clubs final position on the ladder. Coach Todd Fairbrother will now keep the side focussed as it takes on Windsor again next weekend in the Major semi finals series at a venue yet to be confirmed.
Weather was yet again factor in other fixtures when rain forced the cancellation of all other senior and junior matches. With the senior team’s finals series now to commence, Padres had three 3 of its other four Sunday 4 teams contesting finals baseball in a highly successful season for the club. The Major B Grade will finish in 4th place whilst the SQBL A Grade also will be crowned Minor Premiers, their finals begin next weekend. The SQBL B Grade, whose semi final was washed out, completed their season in 2nd place whilst at the time of writing the Monday night Masters team, with one round to be played, are currently in 4th position in their league.
In Junior competitions, the Under 20 Red team and the Under 16 Division 1 side will carry the club’s colours into finals baseball beginning this upcoming weekend. The Little League Majors and Brisbane North Minors have one more round before finals time whilst the Under 8’s and Under 10’s will have one more round of competition fixtures before their seasons conclude.

PADRES LITTLE LEAGUER'S FUN DAY AT RUNCORN
Keith Land, Sunday, 21 February 2010PADRES LITTLE LEAGUER'S FUN DAY AT RUNCORN
Last Saturday, Redcliffe Leagues Padres Baseball Club sent a team to Runcorn to compete in a carnival run by BQI for Little League teams and players. Held in overcast conditions, most teams played at least 3 games at the home of Indians Baseball Club. Padres team, consisting of a mixture of Major and Minor players, performed well both on and off the field over the day. It was a chance to try new positions, meet other ball players and hopefully learn more about the game and tournament play. The team were a credit to the club and as you can see from the photos kindly taken by Mick Hinz and they all seemed to enjoy themselves.
For the record the team won 2 games and lost 1 by 1 run but this is just secondary for their long term development. Players played out of position, sat on benches but took it all in their stride in a day of fun and learning.
Thank you to Glen and Rick who assisted me, Bruce who was our umpire, Lyn our scorer and the parents who allowed their children to play. Most of all thank you to all the players for their attitude and enthusiasm over the whole day.
I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I did.

PADRES EYE FINALS WITH WIN OVER WESTS
Keith Land, Sunday, 21 February 2010
PADRES EYE FINALS WITH WIN OVER WESTS
Redcliffe Leagues Padres Baseball Club’s Major A Grade moved one step closer to the finals when they defeated West’s on Friday night at Lawnton. Led by pitcher Rodney Wodson, the side won a hard fought game 6-1 over the Bulldogs. Wodson gave up just 5 hits in his 8 innings on the mound to pick up the win. Steve Greer and Danny Dunsdon with 2 hits a piece were the pick of the batters where the side scored 3 runs in the 2nd innings and were never headed. Unfortunately rain intervened on Sunday with both the Major A and B Grade being washed out at Talobilla. The side leads the league but with just 2 rounds remaining, the side plays the 2nd and 3rd placed sides so will need to keep their current form to hold their position. That challenge next week is against defending premiers Surfers at Surfers in a tough weekend of ball.
Meanwhile in the Minors games, an under strength SQBL A Grade team travelled to Ipswich to play Musketeers and came away with a convincing win 17-0. Pitchers Kale Schlencker and Terry O'Loughlin were dominant from the first pitch, followed up by closer Sean O'Loughlin. The bats were brutal with the entire team recording hits in the shutout. SQBL B grade secured second place for finals winning their last game of the season against All Stars 14 -8, Phil Armstrong leading the team with the bat, whilst C Grade was washed out.
Saturday junior’s fixtures saw the Under 20 Red win 12-2 against Redlands at home. Shannon Mills and Nathan Huang pitched well while Lucas Bakker was best with the bat with 3 hits. The Under 20 White team struggled early at Beenleigh until relieving pitchers Kate West and Liam Raines stabilized the team. Corey Harper was the team’s leading hitter. The Under 14 Division 1 team was disappointing in their loss to Windsor at Windsor. The Under 14 Red team played well as a team despite going down to Pine Hills at Bunya while the Under 14 White travelled to Narangba and with Jazz Jurgenson on the mound the team’s bats ran hot. Multiple hits went to Zac Day, Zane Taylor, Amy West and Jesse Cook who helped with their win. The Club sent a team to the GBL Little League Tournament at Runcorn on Saturday and the team came away with a 2 win and 1 loss record, the loss by 1 run in a great day of baseball.

PADRES MINORS TEAMS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Keith Land, Monday, 15 February 2010PADRES MINORS TEAMS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
With the Majors teams having no fixtures this weekend due to the State Under 23 Titles being held in Lismore, the spotlight turns to the Minors team who compete in the SQBL Leagues. The competition leading A Grade team travelled to Bunya on Sunday to take on second placed Pine Hills. It was always going to be a tough match and with four players away on representative duties, the side just went down 6-4in a high quality fixture. Despite the loss, the side will finish in the top two as there are just three rounds left in the season. An under strength B Grade team B grade team travelled to WIndsor for their top of the table clash with the locals Pitchers Nathan Huang and David West led the team defensively, but the bats failed to support them, the side going down 5-2. Again a top two spot is assured for the team. The C Grade kept their finals hopes alive with a come from behind 10-9 win over Pine Hills at home. Luke Flood, Chris Marlow and Aaron Bonko played well in the victory. The Majors return to the diamond this weekend to take on Wests in a vital series for their finals hope. Both the A and B grade teams are in finals contention but need wins to consolidate their places. It is the last home series for the side this season.
Saturday junior’s fixtures saw the Under 20 Red win 8-7 win against Surfers at Surfers Paradise. It was an untidy win with Under 16 players Nathan Hass and Sam Holland both getting 2 hits each. The Under 20 White team led Carina throughout the game thanks to some great pitching from Yuki Grienke and good hitting from Amy Hobbs. Unfortunately, errors cost them the game in the last innings. For not the first time this season, the Under 16 Division1 team went down by 1 run, this time 3-2 to Redlands at Redlands. The Under 14 Division 1 team struggled to find its previous form, going down to Hendra All Stars 17-4 at home. The Under 14 Red team snatched a win against Pine Hills 15 -14 with Liam Goodall and Danielle Brown the best for their team. With some great pitching from Jesse Cook, the Under 14 White came close to upsetting competition leaders Pine Hills going down by just 2 runs. The Little Majors team was disappointing in their 16-10 loss to Windsor at home, Lindsay Cooper playing well. In the Minors, the Under 12 Grey defeated White 14 -9 whilst the Under 12 Black went down to Narangba 12 -7.

Keith Land, Sunday, 7 February 2010PADRES HIT BACK IN STYLE OVER BEENLEIGH
Redcliffe Leagues Padres Major A Grade Baseball team bounced back to form last weekend in emphatic style with a crushing 14-2 win over Beenleigh at Beenleigh on Friday night. After a couple of weeks of patchy form the side came out determined to return to the winners circle and dominated the opposition in all facets of the fixture. Rodney Wodson on the mound was in scintillating form, and after 5 innings had thrown a perfect game before giving up a couple of late runs. With the bats the whole side hit well racking up 15 hits, led by young guns Lucas Bakker and Josh Hobbs in a real team effort. With the wins, the side now shares top spot in the league along with Windsor. Due to the State Under 23 Titles the side has next weekend off before taking on Wests in its last home series for the season in two weeks time. With the large amount of rain, all senior fixtures were washed out on Sunday.
Saturday saw most mixed results in the juniors. Despite a great game from Amy Hobbs the Under 20 White were well beaten by Indians at home. The Under 16 Division 1 team went down in a close one 7-5 to Surfers Paradise also at home. The Under 14 Division 1 team came home from Beenleigh with the points with a 16-11 win over the locals, Michael Gerber and Lachlan Day playing well. Meanwhile the Under 14 White team, with Jazz Jurgenson on the mound, comprehensively defeated Pine Hills 18-2. Jayden Zieth batted well with a Bianca Cook double play closing the game. The Little League Majors team defeated Pine Hills 13-5 at Bunya, Jon Cusick and Lindsay Cooper playing well.

WET DISRUPTS PADRES FIXTURES
Keith Land, Sunday, 31 January 2010WET DISRUPTS PADRES FIXTURES
Wet weather intervened last Sunday in Redcliffe Leagues Padres Major A Grade Baseball team’s attempt to square their weekend series with Indians. Having dropped Friday night’s fixture 8-2 the sides chance to redeem themselves was undone by Mother Nature when both Major A and B Grade were washed out at Talobilla Park on Sunday. In Friday night’s game at Carina, the two sides were close going into the 6th innings before a grand slam from the opposition proved too much to overcome the side totalling just 4 hits for the night. The team will travel to Beenleigh next weekend in a series it needs to win to regain momentum and winning ways.
In the only senior games that went ahead the SQBL A Grade travelled to Darra where the side beat Wests in a close rain affected game 2-1.In a game that saw both pitchers Terry O’Loughlin and Josh Barnes dominate, they were backed by solid defence. In offence Sean OLoughlin had 2 hits and Darren Young’s base running was again a game highlight. SQBL B Grade had another hard fought win in the wind and rain over Redsox at Carina, winning by the score of 8-5. A solid pitching performance from David West, was closed out in style by Alex Miekle. After being down for the first 3 innings, Paul Downey and Paul Muscatt led the charge with the bat, both picking up important RBI'S and 2 hits apiece.
Saturday saw most of the club’s junior teams return to the diamonds. The Under 20 Red team went down to Mudgereeba 8-5 in a close one at home, too many runners being left on base. The Under 20 White started well but came up short to Ipswich at Ipswich, Todd Burkhill playing well. The Under 16 Division 1 team came away from Darra with the points, winning by the score of 6-1. Sam Holland pitched well while Jayden Draper had a solid all round game. The Under 14 Division 1 gave up too many runs early going down to Redsox 11-7 at home. Meanwhile the Under 14 White teams kept their semi final hopes alive with a solid 13-6 win over Pine Rivers. Jazz Jurgensen pitched well with hits going to Zac Day and Jasmin Costin.
In representative news the Brisbane North Under 23 team has been announced and Padres have been well represented with half the side being Padres players. Josh Barnes, Kelvin Barnes, Josh Hobbs, Alex Meikle, Nathan Sharrow, Alessandro Vaglio and Tom West will play in the tournament late this month in Lismore.
Brisbane North has also announced its Little League team for the state titles to be held in April. Padres are again well represented with Lachlan Bradley, Luke Cronan, Jon Cusick, Liam Taylor and Lindsay Cooper all gaining selection.

PADRES DROP 2 TO IPSWICH
Keith Land, Monday, 25 January 2010PADRES DROP 2 TO IPSWICH
In a disappointing weekend for Redcliffe Leagues Padres Major A Grade Baseball the side dropped both games of a double header for the first time this year, to Ipswich Musketeers. In testing conditions at Ipswich, the side came up short losing game 1 by the score of 2-0 and game 2 by another close score line of 4-2. It was a day where pitchers dominated and the Redcliffe bats were shutdown for the day. Game 1 saw pitcher Brian Debert give up just 5 hits in his 7 innings of work but he had no run support, Danny Dunsdon the best for the loser going 2 for 3 with the bat. In Game 2 errors cost the side dearly with the team giving up 3 unearned runs in the 4-2 loss Dunsdon’s bat staying hot with 2 home runs whilst Rodney Wodson struck out 8 in his time on the mound. Coach Todd Fairbrother will look to get back to winning form when they take on Indians this Sunday at Talobilla Park.
Major B Grade also came home empty handed when they were defeated by Ipswich 6-2 the locals outhitting the team. SQBL A Grade suffered only their second loss of the season 4-3 to Indians at Runcorn. In a nail biting contest that was dominated by tight defence from both teams. Padres usually hot bats were shut down by some unconventional pitching. SQBL B Grade had a hard fought win over Indians 9 – 4 also at Runcorn. The offense was lead by Scott Grienke with 3 hits and Luke Flood with 2 hits including a home run while Andy Colcutt pitched a complete game to get the win.

PADRES SPLIT WITH LIGHTNING
Keith Land, Monday, 18 January 2010PADRES SPLIT WITH LIGHTNING
Redcliffe Leagues Padres Major A Grade Baseball team retained its competition lead when it split last weekend’s home series with Pine Hills Lightning. Despite still missing more than half its regular starting line up due to representative commitments and unavailabilities, the side showed great composure to split the quality series. Friday night’s game at Bunya was a fixture which the Padres led for most of the game. With the side up 4-1 after 7 innings, a 5 run 8th innings by Pine Hills gave them the lead which they hung onto for 6-5 win. Best for the beaten Padres were Steve Greer, Josh Hobbs, Jay Nilsson and Carlos Prichard who all picked up 2 hits apiece in the loss.
In Sunday’s return game at Talobilla, the side came out determined to make up for Friday night’s loss and skipped out to an early 4-0 lead. Pine Hills threatened after 4 innings, but the side remained focussed and came out winners by the score of 13-9 to remain in first place in Major League competition. Rodney Wodson was in dynamic form, striking out 10 in his 5 innings on the mound, whilst also picking up 3 hits at the plate. He was supported by a number of timely hits from Alex Vaglio and Jay Nilsson which converted base runners into runs. The side will next take on Ipswich in an away series double header next Sunday.
Major B Grade squandered an amazing 9 run lead late in the game to Pine Hills to go down by 1 run, losing only its second game of the season. SQBL A Grade won a tight game with All Stars 11-10. In a seesawing affair Padres came from behind twice to go into the bottom of the last inning with the scores even. Composure under pressure saw them manufacture the winning run with some aggressive base running. SQBL B Grade won on a forfeit from All Stars while, for the second week in a row, C Grade lost by 1 run, this time to Redlands 6-5 at home, Luke Flood playing well.

PADRES ROYAL SPLIT
Keith Land, Monday, 11 January 2010PADRES ROYAL SPLIT
Redcliffe Leagues Padres Major A Grade Baseball team retained its competition lead when it split last weekend’s home series with second placed Windsor Royals. Despite missing more than half its regular starting line up due to representative commitments and unavailabilites, the side showed great composure to split the high quality series. Friday night’s game at Windsor was no exception with the game tied at 5 all after 10 innings when a light curfew meant the game had to be finished at Talobilla on Sunday. When the game recommenced, it took another 4 innings to determine the result. In the top of the 14th Windsor scored 1 run to take the lead 6-5 but a determined display of team batting saw the side plate 2 runs and win the fixture 7-5.
In the second game of the day it was another tight fixture with the scores locked up after 8 all after 8 innings. Windsor plated 2 in the ninth and this time the home side came up empty in their last at bat, going down 10-8 to record its first defeat of the season. The side will next take on Pine Hills in a home series next weekend at Talobilla Park.
Major B Grade also recorded its first loss of the season going down to Windsor 11-4 at home. It was the same story when a depleted side, missing too many regulars could not overcome strong opposition in the fixture. SQBL A Grade had another dominant win over Windsor Royals 12-6 at Windsor. Consistent team hitting lead by Chris McGuire and Rob Bugeja kept the scoreboard ticking over. Backed up by gutsy pitching from Kale Schlencker and solid defence from Will Prinkey it was a great way to start the second half of the season, the side sitting 12 wins and only 1 loss. Meanwhile C Grade had its chances to topple League leaders Windsor but came up just short going down 4-3 at home. Chris Marlow pitched well, while Aaron Bonko was solid in the field.

PADRES POWER ON
Keith Land, Sunday, 13 December 2009PADRES POWER ON
Redcliffe Leagues Padres Baseball Club Major A Grade improved their season to 8 wins and no losses, cementing top place in the GBL Major League competition, when it completed a weekend away sweep of Wests Bulldogs. The continuance of the perfect season so far began Friday night when they defeated Wests 12-4 at Windsor. Brian Debert threw 8 solid innings and was well supported by the defence, Josh Hobbs making some spectacular outs in the field. With the bat Lucas Bakker picked up 3 hits supported by Carlos Prichard with 2, but the feature was the converting of base runners into runs in a solid team display.
Sunday’s return game at Darra was a tight affair tied up at 4 all after 6 innings when a rain delay seemed to give the team time to refocus as they came out swinging, notching up the victory by the score of 12-5 with a late run flurry scoring 8 runs in the last 3 innings. Coach Todd Fairbrother with 4 hits and 5 RBI’s led the way offensively supported by Ryan Nilsson and Steve Greer with 2 hits apiece. The Padres play their last game before Xmas when they take on Surfers Paradise at home this Sunday at Talobilla Park in a double header in what should be a tight tussle.
Major B Grade put in a sloppy performance in the field but still came away with the points in their 10-7 win over Wests to also retain their competition lead, Jake Hall and Michael Winlaw best with the bats. In SQBL A Grade, Padres had another great win beating Carina 14-1. Solid defence and strong pitching saw the opposition struggle for runs. The team’s bats continued to fire with two triples by Jay Webb and a seven run last inning to seal the win. The B Grade team led by Alex Miekle on the mound and solid defence accounted for Carina 11-0, David West picked up multiple hits, C Grade gave up too many unearned runs early and despitea late comeback, came up short to Pine Hills 10-9 at Bunya.
Saturday’s junior fixtures saw both Under 20 teams with byes. The Under 16 Division 1 team maintained their impressive season with a 5-0 win over Pine Hills, Robbie Budd having a great defensive game while the Under 16 Division 2 team had an 11 all draw with Southern Stars at Regents Park. The Under 14 Division 1 team lost a high quality fixture to Narangba 9-5, Andrew Gerber pitching well. In a hard fought local Under 14 Division 2 derby that could have gone either way, the White team defeated the Red team 15-8. Jazz Jurgensen proved to be the difference on the mound for the Red team whilst Brodie Wright picked up two hits for the Red team and Luke Turner two for the White. The Little League Majors team returned to form with an 18-8 win over All Stars, Lindsay Cooper pitching strongly.

PADRES BELLISSIMO WEEKEND
Keith Land, Sunday, 6 December 2009PADRES BELLISSIMO WEEKEND
Redcliffe Leagues Padres Baseball Club Major A Grade moved to the top of the GBL Major League competition when it completed a weekend sweep of Beenleigh Hawks. The highlight of the weekend was the hitting of Italian import Alex Vaglio who hit crucial home runs in each of the weekend games in recording the victories. Friday night saw the side travel to Beenleigh and come away with an 8-5 win over the locals. It was a tight affair tied up at 3 all after 5 completed innings before a home run from Danny Dunsdon in the 7th innings put the side up 6-5. With a runner on in the 8th, Vaglio put the ball over the centre field fence to ensure the win. He was backed up with the bat by Carlos Prichard with 3 hits, Steve Greer and Jay Nilsson picked up 2 hits each as well. On the mound Brian Debert picked up the win, supported by Rodney Wodson in relief who combined gave up just 7 hits and picking up 8 strikeouts.
Sunday’s return game at Talobilla was another tight fixture. After 6 completed innings, Padres led 6-0 thanks to some good team hitting, highlighted by Vaglio’s second home run of the weekend. Pitcher Lucas Bakker had been in control with 9 strikeouts and just 3 hits in his time on the mound. But the Beenleigh bats came alive with a pitching change and backed up by some untimely errors in the field got back in the game trailing 6-5 into the last innings. To cap off a great weekend Vaglio recorded 2 of the last 3 outs to seal the win 6-5 and secure the sweep for the locals. The Padres take on Wests next weekend at Darra in what shapes up as another tough weekend of fixtures.
Major B Grade stayed atop of their group with tough win over second placed Beenleigh at home. The side got off to an uncharacteristically slow start giving up 5 runs to the opposition in the 1st innings.

Calvin Vellnagel was the pick of the hitters whilst pitcher Nathan Sharrow picked up the win on the mound. In SQBL A Grade, Padres had another dominating win crushing Musketeers 24-1. Home runs went to Jay Webb, Kale Schlencker and Darren Young. All three also combined to lead the team in defense with Kale and Darren overpowering from the mound and Jay's solid performance behind the plate.
SQBL B Grade easily accounted for Southside Indians winning 26 - 1, with pitcher Nathan Huang striking out 10 batters. Three hits were recorded by Josh Barnes and David West in a dominating performance. To cap off an impressive day of ball, the SQBL recorded a 9 all draw with Mt. Gravatt Eagles at Mt. Gravatt. Josh Missen was the pick of the side who overcame adversity to share the points. Last Monday night saw the Masters team put in a great showing against leaders Surfer’s Paradise, going down 14-13 in an exciting match up.
Saturday’s junior fixtures saw the Under 20 Red team defeat Windsor by the score of 25- 5. Lucas Bakker hit a grand slam and was player of the match whilst Doug Soutter and Matt Dawson also had good games. The Under 20 White team narrowly went down away to All Stars 17-16 in a high scoring game. Highlights were Kate West's pitching with good team hitting by the team. The Under 16 Division 1 team had the bye whilst the Division 2 team went down to All Stars at home. The Under 14 Division 1 team defeated Pine Hills 25-14, Scott Cronan playing well. The Under 14 Red team narrowly defeated Redlands 8 to 7 in the last innings, a double play sealing the exciting win. The Little League Majors team came away from Carina empty handed, going down 11-7 in a seesawing affair. In the Minor’s competition, the White lost to Rapids 18 -10 while the Grey defeated Black 11-9.

PADRES SWEEP PINE HILLS
Keith Land, Sunday, 15 November 2009PADRES SWEEP PINE HILLS
The Greater Brisbane Baseball Leagues has now split into two divisions, Major League and Pacific Cup with Padres having qualified to play in the top ML division as a result of its early season results. Last weekend was the first round of the new competition and Redcliffe Leagues Padres Baseball Club Major A Grade team made a bold statement with a two game series sweep of Pine Hills Lightning at Bunya. Friday night the team took on the Lightning in a game that was a even contest with both pitchers dominating the fixture. Padres were up 1-0 after 5 innings thanks to an RBI form Carlos Prichard before plating 3 runs in the seventh, a lead they never surrendered running out winners 5-1. Brian Debert was strong over his 6 innings of work whilst Lucas Bakker struck out 7 in his 3 innings on the mound. Prichard picked up 2 hits as did Danny Dunsdon and Italian import Alex Vaglio in the hard fought win.
Sunday’s return game was expected to be tough affair but the Padres batters jumped on the opposition early scoring 10 runs in the first innings and running out winners 14-2 in the comprehensive victory. Pitchers Rodney Wodson and Todd Fairbrother were dominant on the mound. Steve Greer, fresh home from a flight from Adelaide where he was a member of the Qld Claxton Shield team, picked up 2 hits as did Dunsdon, Vaglio, Bakker, Daniel Nilsson and Phil Schramm in a great display of power, Vaglio picking up 6 RBI’s. Hopefully the bats will stay hot this weekend when the team plays a double header on Sunday against Ipswich at Talobilla park, first game starting at 1:30.
Sunday saw another strong showing by all senior teams. Major B continued their Commissioners’ Shield win with a solid 6 to 2 win over Pine Hills, Nathan Sharrow giving up just 6 hits and 9 strikeouts in his 6 innings of work whilst Dylan Raines was the pick of the hitters. The SQBL Senior A grade, with Kale Schlenker on the mound, shut out Wests with a convincing 10-0 win; Sean O’Loughlin’s two run home run over centerfield fence was a highlight. The B Grade team fought hard to defeat Southern Stars 7-4 with a strong pitching display from Alex Miekle at home. C Grade gave up 8 runs in the last to lose to Redlands 19-10, Luke Flood the pick of the team
Saturday’s junior fixtures saw the Under 20 Red team win18-0 against Wests at home. Shannon Mills pitched 5 shutout innings, striking out 10. Best at bat was Jesse Michel with 4 hits while Josh Hobbs, Matt Dawson and Mills collected 3 each. The Under 20 White team conversely struggled against Indians at Runcorn going down 18 -2. Yuki Grienke was the best with the bat.
The Under 16 Division 1 remain undefeated after beating Wests 10 -1 with Nathan Hass hitting a home run over left field and Sam Holland pitching well. Josh Dougherty and Jaxier Luner were unable to rally their Under 16 Division 2 against Indians going down 11-5. The14 Division 1 team was outclassed by Redlands going down 14-5. Despite a solid game from Jazz Jurgenson, the Under 14 White team failed to convert opportunities going down to Wests at home 15-13. The Under14 Red team drew with Windsor 16 all in an exciting game of ball.
