Adelaide Bite - ABL - Australian Baseball League

[Dogmatic]

Sydney tied the scores up, now in bottom of the 9th inning...

Adelaide Bite - 4

Sydney Blue Sox - 4

Not good, top of the order to bat.
Could have almost clinched the minor premiership with the win.

Okay Dogmatic but they will still be assured a home final if they finish top 2...

Perhaps let's just wait and see what the remaining 3 games of the series bring, we showed what we are capable of after losing the first game in Melbourne.

You can take the short road or the long road. I know which road I would rather take.
Hopefully Adelaide have a couple of good nights.
Who are the catch up matches against?

Agree with the road comment but I'm sure they'd just be concentrating on the Sydney series but a top 2 finish would be in the back of Manager Tony Harris' mind.

I couldn't find anything on the ABL site (schedule link below - not obviously updated with the catch-up games) but I'll speak to a mate who is the Media Manager at the Bite and confirm it. I think it is against Brisbane next week with the pick-up game possibly Thursday night?

Will post more once I can find it out...
