Adelaide Bite - ABL - Australian Baseball League

[PhilH]

THAT'S IT ... man now on 2nd with one out.

[PhilH]

Stolen Base would be handy here.

[Big Phil]

Stefan Welsh the 1st batter for Adelaide, get's a safe hit to get to 1st base...

Jamie McOwen lays down a bunt to advance Welsh to 2nd base...

Adelaide 1 away with a runner on 2nd and Quincy Latimore in the batters box...

[Big Phil]

YES !!!!


Past ball and Stefan Welsh advances to 3rd base...

I told you something was going to happen in this inning, this is it now Bite, c'mon...

Let's go Big Q !!!!

[PhilH]

Wild thrown past catching, man on 3rd

ONE OUT

Quincy Latimore at the plate ... now being walked delibertaely by Sydney.

Now this will probably be a
double play and all out
or
a run

[Dogmatic]

Good chance to put some runs on the board. Pressure galore on the pitcher.

[PhilH]

2 and 2

[PhilH]

struck out ... a big out

Now needs a hit for BITE to score.

[Big Phil]

Brandon Bantz goes down swinging, now 2 out - DO NOT LEAVE THE GO AHEAD RUN OUT THERE...

Dan Wilson in the box with runners in the corner...

[Dogmatic]

Good pitching - Bugger!

[Big Phil]

Adelaide side away, BUGGER !!!

Now into the bottom of the 14th...

Adelaide - 4

Sydney - 4

[PhilH]

all out via a ground ball to 2nd baseman for easy through to 1st,

Here come the Blue Sox

Hey Phil ... I think 14 innings is equal to the longest game in ABL history (all one season of it) ... would 15 innings be the record do you think?

[Big Phil]

all out via a ground ball to 2nd baseman for easy through to 1st,

Here come the Blue Sox

Hey Phil ... I think 14 innings is equal to the longest game in ABL history (all one season of it) ... would 15 innings be the record do you think?

I know a local Adelaide Div 1 game went 15 innings a couple of weeks ago, but not sure about a national record?

Rob Laidlaw will be able to tell me, I'll come back to you...

[PhilH]

Not a National record, just an ABL one,

Blue Sox have man on 1st walked, 2nd man struck out

[Big Phil]

Sydney with a safe hit and now have runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out...

Tony Harris pulls a surprise, bringing out Tom Becker and brings in Mark Brackman who threw on Friday night who was hit all over the place...

[PhilH]

And a Blue Sox hit has men on 1st and 2nd .. ONE OUT.

Pitching change coming up

This must be really stretching both bullpens .. Bite's 5th pitcher coming up


Must go now ... have held off as long as can but family time comes first.

GOOD LUCK BITE !!!!

[Big Phil]

What a play at home play, Brandon Bantz sitting on home plate gets the out on homeplate as Syndey try to bring in the winning run !!!

[Dogmatic]

Hopefully the Bite have just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
A couple of amazing plays.

[Big Phil]

Brendon Pett takes an AMAZING catch in the outfield to get the 3rd out for the Bite - that may be the motivational thing that gets us over the line !!!

Sydney side away - the Sydney close out pitcher now into his 5th inning, he must be getting tired as he is an older guy as well...

This could be it guys, c'mon now Adelaide Bite - LET'S GO !!!

Top of the 15th, Adelaide at bat

Adelaide - 4

Sydney - 4

[Big Phil]

Scott Galdstone at bat for Adelaide, c'mon now fella !!!

Yes, safe hit for Scott as he is cramping up...

He gets to 2nd base with a stand up double...

C'mon now, this is the moment boys...
