24.01.2022 WOMENS A-GRADE REVIEW South Wagga Warriors continued their fine start to the softball season with a comfortable 12-5 victory over Turvey Park. In the opening innings of the game, Warriors’ Jess Swaysland and Kristy Tennison were quickly out, but a three-bagger to Montana Kearnes was converted to a run when Layhnee Kearnes hit to centrefield.... In response, three consecutive regulation outs were made, with Turvey Park failing to reach first base, let alone look like scoring. Safe hits to Jess Grant, Jacinta Parmenter and Tennison yielded two more runs for the Warriors, taking their tally to three. Smart base-running saw Turvey’s Amanda Gooden cross the plate to lessen the margin to just two. Further hits to Layhnee Kearnes, Sam O’Neill, Carmel Hutchinson and Parmenter gave Warriors a 5-1 lead at the top of the third. In the bottom of the dig, Turvey Park was shut out in no time at all. The Warriors then produced their best innings yield of the match when giant home runs to the Kearnes sisters and further hits to Tennison and Kymberley Dennis saw four runs cross the plate. Not to be outdone, Turvey Park produced their best innings tally as well! Amanda Donohue, Amanda Gooden, Jane Wadley, Phoebe Wadley, Makaidie Gale and Sophie Gooden all had safe hits contributing to four runs being scored. Turvey gave themselves some small chance of getting back into the game by dismissing two of the first three batters; however outfield hits to Jess Swaysland, Layhnee Kearnes (her fourth), O’Neill, Dennis and Hutchinson took the margin to seven after five innings. Turvey came into the bottom of the fifth needing at least one run to prevent, or at least delay the mercy rule being applied. Despite loading up the bases, all the runners were left stranded on the third dismissal, leaving the score as a 12-5 win to the Warriors. Turvey Park will enjoy a bye next Saturday, whilst the Warriors will meet Saints.

24.01.2022 Week 5 - the season is almost here - EXCITING

23.01.2022 WOMENS A-GRADE MATCH REVIEW 21.11.2020 Turvey Park showed that they are well and truly a real premiership chance after defeating South Wagga Warriors, 15-11, on Saturday. In a game which featured good batting from both teams, the Turvey win was all the more convincing when no less than four B grade players doubled up after their B grade matches.... All four: Amanda Hubbard as pitcher, Kira Hallam and Alex Maiden in the outfield and Natalie Bathgate as designated player, more than held their own, particularly with the bat. Warriors’ coach, Justin Kearnes, chose to start with Layhnee Kearnes pitching and she soon had Charli Hall back on the bench after taking a scorching line drive. Leila Wadley started the ball rolling for Turvey with a safe centrefield hit. Uncharacteristic fielding errors by the Greens and safe hits to Hallam, and Sophie Gooden (home run) contributed to Turvey scoring five runs in their opening innings. Montana Kearnes replaced her sister on the pitchers’ plate to close the innings. Untidy Turvey fielding and a safe hit to Montana Kearnes saw the Warriors score three runs in their opening dig. Hall and Leila Wadley both got on base in the top of the second, but neither could score. In the Warriors second innings, hits to Kristy Tenison and Jayla Nix saw the latter cross the plate for a 5-4 scoreline. Layhnee Kearnes was again the pitcher as Turvey was shut out in the top of the third. The Warriors were also shut out in their third innings. A regulation catch and two splendid outfield catches by the Warriors again shut out Turvey in the top of the fourth. The Warriors went ahead for the first time when Tenison and Montana Kearnes gave them a two-run yield and a one-run lead in the bottom of the fourth. Amanda Donohue and Hallam both had safe hits in the top of the fifth, but both were left stranded on base when the innings closed. Turvey didn’t allow the Warriors to get any further ahead when they were shut out in the bottom of the fifth. The top of the sixth innings saw a rampant Turvey team bat in an amazing seven runs with safe hits to Maiden (two), Bathgate, Donohue, Amanda Gooden, Hallam, Phoebe Wadley and Sophie Gooden. Two more runs to the Warriors in the bottom of the sixth, courtesy of hits to Layhnee Kearnes and Sam O’Neil took the score to 12-8 with one innings remaining. An Amanda Gooden home run and a leftfield hit to Phoebe Wadley took Turvey’s final score to 15, leaving the Warriors needing a not impossible eight runs to win. Nix, Tenison and Layhnee Kearnes (home run) played their part, but a return of only three runs gave Turvey a Most deserved 15-11 win. Turvey Park will enjoy a bye next round whilst the Warriors will be keen to bounce back to the winners’ list when they meet Saints on Wednesday evening. See more

10.01.2022 SENIOR LEAGUE SOFTBALL A-GRADE MATCH REVIEW 25.11.2020 South Wagga Warriors bounced back from their surprise loss to Turvey Park with a convincing 7-0 win over Saints. Indeed, it was yet another premature finish to the game, with the mercy rule being applied in the bottom of the fifth innings. Warriors won the toss and invited Saints to bat first.... Tessa McGlynn was the only Saints to make base, but had only reached second when the team was shut out. It was an even quicker shut out of the Warriors in their responsive first innings. All three dismissals in Saints second innings were struck out by pitcher, Montana Kearnes. The Warriors’ Layhnee Kearnes and Jess Grant had safe outfield hits enabling Kearnes and Kimberley Dennis to cross the plate. Nine pitches were all that were required to shutout Saints for a third time. Kristy Tenison hit a rightfield home run to start the Warriors third innings and she was followed home by Montana Kearnes who scored on a Sam O’Neill sacrifice fly. Yet another three up-three down was the case in the Saints fourth dig and hits to Grant and Jess Swaysland saw them take the Warriors score to six. It was an all too familiar situation in the Saints fifth innings, shut out yet again. The Warriors’ Carmel Hutchinson reached first and after stealing to second was batted in by a Swaysland home run. However, since Hutchinson was the seventh runner to cross the plate, the game was deemed over with the application of the mercy rule. The Saints will look to do better when they meet Turvey Park next round, whilst South Wagga Warriors will enjoy the bye. See more

09.01.2022 In todays Daily Advertiser In the Past section we remember 25 years ago when our star local softball player Brooke Frauenfelder took out a Bronze Medal as the Captain of the U19 Australian Softball Team in the 1995 Olympic Games.... What a fantastic achievement Our Softball season is almost upon us - are you super keen to play... Brookes Story..... The Southern Sports Academy launched softball as one of its inaugural sports in 1992, and its program produced some of the Academys brightest stars including Brooke Baverstock (ne Frauenfelder) and Amanda Gooden (ne Wheeler). Brooke was selected for the Australian Softball Academy between 1992 and 1995. In 1993 she was also selected to represent NSW in the U19 team. In 1994 Brooke toured New Zealand with the U19 Australian squad and was awarded a NSW Academy Scholarship. 1995 was a good year for Brooke. She captained the Australian U19 team at the World Softball Championships to a bronze medal win, before captaining the Australian U19s on a tour of New Zealand. Furthermore, she was awarded a second NSW Academy Scholarship and was selected for the NSW Open team. In 1996 and 1997 Brooke was a member of both the National team and the AIS team, competing in the 1997 Tri-Nation Series Tournament in Brisbane. In 1997 she won a place on the Australian Open Womens Team and competed at the Harlem Tournament in the Netherlands. Brooke represented NSW in 1998 and 1999 before taking a year off from the sport in 2000 to get married. She returned to the NSW Open Womens Team in 2001, and was awarded the Most Valuable Player award. In 2003 Brooke retired from State representation, and the following year, celebrated the birth of her first child, Aden Redman Baverstock. https://www.facebook.com/brookebav
