Adelaide Bite - ABL - Australian Baseball League

[Big Phil]

Latimore caught out in centre field, bugger...

1 out for Adelaide, McOwen on 1st base...

Brandon Bantz in the box now - C'mon lad, you've been batting well all season...

Yes, Bantz has a safe hit, getting Jamie McOwen to 3rd base with 1 out, whoo hoo !!!

C'MON BITE !!!!

[PhilH]

All right ... a hit and man on 3rd with one out.

A sacrifice fly and we can take the lead.

[PhilH]

Ben Wilson up to bat ... and struck out in 3 pitches
, did not swing

Darn

2 out now so cant sacrifice man at 3rd in to score, we need a hit.

[Big Phil]

Now in the box for Adelaide is Dan Wilson...

Wilson goes out swinging, we now have 2 out...

C'mon Scott Galdstone, we just need that go-ahead run !!!!

Don't leave the runner out there...

[PhilH]

and NOW we have the fly out.

12th innings Bite all out, Sydney coming up

[Big Phil]

Ahhhh Gladstone caught out in centre field...

side away for the Bite, bottom of the 12th now...

Scores locked away 4 all...

Gotta go 3 up 3 down with the Blue Sox again...

[Big Phil]

Tom Becker still pitching for the Bite...

Got the 1st out for Sydney, just 2 more outs now fellas...

[Big Phil]

Pat Maat the catcher for Sydney at bat for the Sox...

Caught in right field by Dan Wilson, 2 out for the Blue Sox now...

1 out away from going into an amazing 13th inning

[PhilH]

2 out, no one on

Normally the stress levels would be high because a hit over the
fence is all Sydney need to win the series.

But cant see a home run being scored with this win.

Its going to take some hits, bunting, base running
and maybe like the Aces game last Friday night a
fielding error misreading the wind.

Blue Sox 3rd man struck out

Here we go to the LUCKY 13TH INNINGS.

[bayman]

But cant see a home run being scored with this win.

i hope you haven't put the K O D on this game phil

[Big Phil]

Totally agree Phil, but still would be nice for us to put one over the fence...

Brendan Pett out for the Bite in their 1st at bat, 1 away for us...

Matt Smith in the box for the Bite, top of the 13th...

Tried to bunt but thrown out at first base, 2 away now, BUGGER !!!!

Jeremy Creswell at bat for the Bite now, c'mon lad, 2 out rally !!!

[Big Phil]

Creswell caught in the outfield for side away...

Sydney now to bat in the bottom of the 13th...

[PhilH]

Bankstown is also a much bigger ballpark than Norwood, as a greenfields site it was designed to normal measurements where as Norwood had to fit a field into the Oval already there.

In the MLB there are some Power teams and others that are very good at "small ball" That for mine is what is needed here.

[Big Phil]

Sydney 1 out with Matthew Smith getting the out at 1st base...

Sydney have a safe hit with runner at 1st base, 1 away with big hitter Trent D'Antonio in the box for the Blue Sox...

[Big Phil]

Creswell get's the out at 2nd, tried to get the double play at 1st base but D'Antonio beats the throw to be safe at 1st...

2 out, Sydney batter Trent Schmutter in the batters box...

[Big Phil]

Tom Becker walks Schmutter to 1st base, D'Antonio advances to 2nd base with just the 2 outs still...

Trent Schmutter mouthing off to the home plate umpire, eject him !!!

[PhilH]

Now Sydney have men on 1st and 2nd with two out.

They are a double away from the win

We are one out from going to the 14th.

[PhilH]

14th here we come .... I was supposed to go out for a bike ride with family about 30 minutes ago ... their patience is running thing so I might be bailing soon..

[Big Phil]

I'll keep it going Phil and I can text you scores if you like mate...

Mitch Denning at bat for Sydney, hits to Creswell who gets the out at 2nd base, side away for the Blue Sox...

Now into the 14th inning !!! Amazing !!!

I've got a feeling something is going to happen in this inning, hopefully it is now while we are at bat and it is good...

GO BITE !!!!

[PhilH]

All right ... a base hit to the Bite to start the 14th.

Now can anyone BUNT !!!
