Winter is a very popular season for baseball on the Gold Coast and teams fill up quickly.  We want to ensure that every player who wants to participate can do so, but to make that happen, we need everyone to register this week.

The registration deadline is fast approaching and failure to register on time may result in you missing out on a spot on a team. We don’t want any player to be left out, so please take the time to complete your registration now via the Registrations portal on the website.  Do not wait until the last minute.

If you have any questions or concerns about the registration process, please contact the club.

QUEENSLAND MASTERS TOURNAMENT – APRIL 2023

Posted on by

THE QUEENSLAND MASTERS TOURNAMENT WILL BE HOSTED BY SURFERS PARADISE BASEBALL CLUB AND WILL TAKE PLACE FROM APRIL 22ND TO APRIL 24TH, 2023.

Baseball Queensland has re-structured the tournament based on feedback from players, regions, and clubs, and in accordance with the success of the Pan Pacific Masters Games in 2022.

The tournament will now feature three divisions: 35+ years Division 1, 35+ years Division 2, and 25+ years Women’s Division.  The addition of the Women’s Division with a lower age bracket is aimed at promoting the growth and development of baseball among female participants.

The goal of the tournament is to promote and maintain a culture of respect, diversity, and inclusion within the baseball community. The aim is also to cultivate a fun, inclusive, and welcoming atmosphere that makes baseball a sport of choice and a game for life. The idea of inclusiveness here is meant to reflect the diversity of the community and make sure everyone feels included and welcomed.

Full bar and canteen available for tournament.

Surfers Paradise Baseball member Pat McDonald pulled out his specialised drone to capture some images of the wonderful facilities at Surfers Paradise Baseball Club. These images were captured the day after the 2018 Pan Pacs Masters Games had finished, so the ground was in immaculate condition.

GBL Division 1 CHAMPIONS!!

Posted on by

A huge congraulations to Matt Corbitt and his Bluewave team

In a best of 3 series against Windsor, the boys have come out on top 2 wins to 1.

Friday we went down to Windsor 11 – 6 but not before we played  very well against some of the pitchers in Australia

Sunday was a beauty. Down 4 nil, Matt Studeman came up trumps with a grand slam 4 run home run. The game stayed tied until the 10th when Natt Cunningham and Ozzy Braff got on bases and Scott Hillier drilled one out to right field. Natt flew around the bases and slid in for the winning run and a scoreline of 5 – 4.

The rain threatened to interfere with game 3. Wednesday was postponed and Thursday we moved to Windsor.  In a great pitching duel between Ryan Searle of Windsor and our very own Sam Brunner the game remained tied until the 4th When Shane Thompson took Searly deep and put us up 1 to nil. Players were on and off the field and got back on to play enough innings to make this a game when the game was called due to more rain.

Well done to all.Thank you Matt, Kevie, Connie, Bette and all the players. And thank you to all the suppoters who got along to support the boys. Presentation night is next Thursday and should be a great night.
