Australian Baseball League
Some highlights of the opening week performance was Perth's Justin Huber's against Sydney in the second game. He had 2HRs in the second game in Perth's 7-4 loss to Sydney. Sydney's acquisitions showed up big for them getting two HRs each from 3B Trent D'Antonio and CF Biddle, who they aquired days before from Adelaide. Their star prospect Jack Wynn went 5 for 14 to open up his career.
Adelaide took two great performances from Atherton and Williams in their first two games against Melbourne. Adelaide's pitching will be their strong point on the year. Adelaide also got a HR from MVP canidate Stefan Welch. Melbourne struggled as their middle infield combo of Brett Harman and Bacon combined for 2 hits on the series. A bright spot is Trent Oeltjen at the top of the lineup with a .273 average.
Lastly, Brisbane spoiled 3rd overall pick Stefan Anslow's home debuts as they held him 2 for 11 on the series. 2nd overall pick for Brisbane - Rafferty didn't fair much better going 3-11. We will continue to follow their careers closely and watch their development. Brisbane got a HR in their first game from David Sutherland.
