Registrations for Tiger Academy will remain open for the next few weeks, closing on Saturday, 29 February at 11 pm.
Baseball WA encourages regional players who are not in a charter team to register for Tiger Academy, which is an excellent opportunity for junior players who wish to participate in the State Championships and be considered for the Bronco team. Please note that there are no tryouts for Tiger Academy. Everyone who is eligible and registered will be put into a team. Once teams are finalised and put together, the coached will organise training sessions to bring the kids together. For more information on Tiger Academy and to register today, please click HERE. Baseball WA is pleased to advise that our very own Tim Kennelly, a legend of Team Australia and Perth Heat, has been appointed Head Coach of the Australia West team that will compete at the Palomino Asia Pacific tournament to be held in Korea in June/July.
Kennelly has had a long and decorated baseball career, winning the Helms Award twice as the most outstanding player in the ABL and serving as captain of the national men's team. Kennelly previously played professionally with both the Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers. Announcements regarding the appointment of two assistant coaches will be made in due course. The Australia West team will be selected from those players of League Age 17 or 18 participating in Big League competition. Players from a club without a Big League team are encouraged to nominate. Additional information and the nomination portal are located on the Palomino page HERE. The coaching staff and Baseball WA would like to thank and congratulate the following players who have been selected to represent the Open Women’s Heat team at the National Championships in Canberra in April. We wish you all the very best!
Braves 10-11 Carine Cats
W: Peter Reyes (5-4), L: Misja Harcksen (6-2) The Carine Cats kicked off the Week 16 fixtures in stunning fashion, scoring three runs in the bottom of the tenth inning walk off the Braves 11-10. Trailing 10-8 after the Braves scored two runs in the top of the tenth, second baseman Cameron Landy came up clutch – smacking a three-run triple to deep centre field to clear the bases and hand the Cats victory. Landy made his only hit of the game count, as he finished with a team-high four RBIs. Braves left fielder Graeme Scorer matched him with four RBIs of his own, including an RBI single to put the Braves on top in extras. Carine had other ideas, however, walking off the game with Peter Reyes collecting the win. Victoria Park/Belmont Reds 2-1 Swan Districts Swans
W: Matthew Martin (2-4), L: Dillon Clarkson (3-7) The Victoria Park/Belmont Reds made it two wins on the bounce after edging the Swan Districts Swans 2-1 to start off the Week 15 fixtures. Led by a quality start from Matthew Martin, who struck out four batters across 6.2 frames of one-run ball, the Reds snuck home in the tightest of games. Despite punching out eight over seven stellar innings, Swans starter Dillon Clarkson took the loss after surrending a pair of runs off the bat of Gavin Stupienski and Mitchell Waterhouse. |
