Therefore, Victoria were named gold medal winners of the 2024 Australian Women’s Championships.

In tournament bylaws, if the Championship Final fails to decide the champion state team, the team which finished the most recently completed round in the highest position will be declared Australian champion.

In this instance, Victoria is 7-0 and are named champion.

New South Wales are silver medalists, and Queensland Bronze.

Award winners and presentations were done in a marquee after the game.

HOW THEY GOT HERE?

Victoria is a perfect 7-0 in the tournament. They have won big, but also survived two narrow games vs both Queensland Maroon and New South Wales. They can hit. They can pitch. They are a well-drilled team, featuring a promising collection of rising stars and multiple Emeralds.

New South Wales have hit their way to the medal round. A team who has scored at least 10 runs in five of their seven games, suffering defeats to only Victoria this week. They have a team with multiple Emeralds and won last in 2022.

Queensland Maroon will medal for the first time since 2016. A roster, which features four players who graduated from last year’s Gold Medal at the 2023 Youth Championships, has hit well throughout and featured some clutch pitching performances. They started the tournament 3-0, lost by one run to Victoria, and defeated South Australia in the elimination final.

To win a gold medal, Queensland Maroon and New South Wales must win two games today. It’s tough, but possible.

Victoria earned the advatage of just playing one.

Daily Recaps

NSW 10 def QLD Maroon 9

Kicking the game off in style QLD were on the board early, after singles from Riordan Bradley and Tamika Zamora and ending the first with 1 run.

NSW wasted no time getting the run back after Erin Partridge drew a walk and scored off an error with some great base running. NSW experienced batters gave them every opportunity with Claire O’Sullivan and Ticara Geldenhuis hitting singles, before 16-year-old Isobel Lambert hit an RBI double. NSW would put another 2 runs on the board to take a 5-1 lead early.

The margin remained the same until the third innings when QLD launched a comeback. In a repeat of the previous innings with the bat Riordan Bradley had another single, but this time it was Molly Paddison who hit the double to bring Bradley home. A single to Connie Row cut the NSW lead to 1 run, keeping QLD well and truly in it.

A two hour rain delay flipped the game on its head and NSW turned to veteran Claire O’Sullivan to take over the pitching reins. O’Sullivan did everything her team needed, and restricted QLD to the 1 hit in the inning after play resumed.

NSW came out and made a statement next, loading the bases before Ebony Van Eynde hit a double to the end of left field which cleared the bases. Claire O’Sullivan sent Van Eynde home on a single, before M Heath would get another on the board for NSW to hold a 6 run lead at the bottom of the fourth.

A pitching change for QLD brought Ashley Van Staden to the mound, it was a big moment for the youngster in her first nationals. She threw the ball well and despite giving up a couple of walks early, she kept NSW from scoring for the remainder of the game.

It was a do-or-die moment for QLD when they came in to bat in the seventh. After Molly Paddison reached on a walk, Shiori Hoshino doubled to bring Paddison home and a rally was sparked. Another double to Tamika Zamora added another run, and with no outs recorded QLD were coming for the win.

Two outs came in succession before Hannah Wilson doubled, and an error then gave QLD run number 8, cutting the lead to just 2 runs. Another hit to Riordan Bradley scored another, and then it was the rookie Molly Paddison facing off against the experienced Claire O’Sullivan. It was an edge of your seat moment and Paddison fought hard, but ground out for the final out to see QLD take home the Bronze medal.

SA 8 def QLD W 5

South Australia came from behind in the third to take the win, after big hitter Jess Maslin lit up the game.

Maslin hit the second home run of the tournament, which got SA on the board with two runs to take a 2-1 lead.

QLD White made a comeback in the fourth with hits to Shanye-Elise Lord and Taliyah Paolo and added another in the sixth to hold a 2-run lead late.

SA took bad the lead in the bottom of the sixth adding 4 runs to their tally. A rally of 6 hits in a row, gave SA some breathing space with one inning remaining.

Emily Colman pitched out the game for SA, QLD W added just the 1 run for SA to take victory.

WA 13 def SA 1

WA were on the board early adding three runs in the first thanks to a double from Meaghan Haggart and some errors from SA.

A tw0-run RBI double to Briah Burke in the third, helped add to WA’s tally. They would end the inning with an 8 run lead.

Meaghan Haggart was also strong with the ball in hand for WA, keeping SA to just the hits.

It was the bat of Jess Maslin again that got SA their first run in the fourth.

Back-to-back doubles in the fifth to Caitlin Eynon and Charlotte Yates, gave WA 13 runs on the board.

Caitlin Eynon had 5 strikeouts in her two innings pitched, helping WA hold SA to just the 1 run.

In only their second ever U16 Youth Women’s Championships, South Australia wasted no time making their mark on a gold medal mark.

They dominated from start to finish in a convincing 14-1 win.

Alice Brown delivered one of the most iconic performances in Australian Gold Medal Championship History, going 7.0 innings in a complete game, allowing one run off four hits. She also went 4-for-5 with the bat and drove in six runs.

Every player in the South Australia line-up contributing, with each of the starters picking up at least one base hit during the game.

Here’s how the game unfolded…

READ MORE: DAY 6 RECAP

Hitting well, hitting early and running the bases hard, the South Aussies jumped to a four run lead. Singles to Regan O’Reilly, Alice Brown and Ruby Phitzner all contributed to the score for South Australia.

Alice Brown started on the mound for SA, she took some time to get comfortable after walking the first two batters but ended the innings strong with a strikeout and giving up just one run.

After an incredible tournament so far, unfortunately today was not Charlotte Stokes’ day.

Heading into the game she had a 0.00 ERA, but some errors behind her would see her leave the game after just 1.2 IP. In that time she still battled to strike out 3 batters.

A bright future for Charlotte no doubt…

Sout added another three runs in the second inning. Isabella Hacker kicked things off with a single. Regan O’Reilly hit a sacrifice fly that sent Hacker home, followed up by a double to Alice Brown. Finishing things off was Indie O’Hazy-Tschorn with a single to get SA’s 7th run.

Pitching just as well as she was batting, Alice Brown had a 3-up-3-down inning in the second.

The SA bats stayed hot in the 3rd, kicking it off with singles to Maxine Saunders and Pria Bholanat. Bree Ridding then had her own single, before Alice Brown had another double driving in 2 runs. SA ended the innings holding a 10 run lead.

QLD were able to settle with the ball in hand and slow SA’s scoring, until SA broke through with bat and added 2 runs in the seventh to hold a 13 run lead.

Despite QLD managing to get runners on base at times, they were unable to get on the board and break through the intense SA defence and the incredible pitching of Alice Brown.

Holding on to the 13 run lead, SA were crowned the 2024 Youth Women’s champions.

TOURNAMENT AWARD WINNERS

MVP – Alice Brown (SA), 1 earned run in 13 innings pitched, with a complete game in the gold medal match, plus 10 hits and 12 RBI.

CONSOLATION GAME – WA 13 def QLD 12 

A true nail-biter of a game down the very end, as Western Australia walked it off and ended Queensland White’s dream to get their first win of the tournament.

QLD White, the state’s development team, got themselves on the board early with a run resulting from a double to Grace White which Paris Bastow home.

WA tied it up with their first chance with the bat, a Caitlin Eynon single and hard base running got her home from an error to QLD white.

The aggressive base running continued from WA in the second with Madison Lines charting WA’s second run on the board, after she stole second and third before coming home on an error.

In the fifth innings, QLD White broke the game apart with some of their best batting of the tournament. They put six extra runs on the board thanks to some smart eyes at the plate and 3 hits including a double to Grace White.

Unfortunately for QLD, WA seized the lead back as they amassed 8 walks and an error. WA would add seven runs in the inning to push a lead by three.

But how about the fight from Queensland? They replied with another three runs of their own in the sixth to tie the ball game. Emma Reid, Allissa Stone and Emma Tate all collected hits in the inning.

Two walks early for the QLD pitchers delivered WA with a shot at taking victory. Enter the experienced Meagan Haggart, who got the ball in play to bring Briah Burke home and get WA the win.
