Preview
A series that is a rematch of the 2015 season. The 2015 edition was held in Brisbane, but this time the Bite get to play host to the bandits. The Bite are lead by two MVP canidates. 3B Stefan Welch and LF Rolexis Molina, as well as budding star 1B Gordon Moy, along with two solid pitchers in Tim Atherton and Matthew Williams. Moy was their 3rd round draft pick this year. Meanwhile the Bandits, look to repeat as champions. The Bandits are lead by 1B David Sutherland, C Jose Gil, and star shortstop Alan Schoenberger. Bandits pitching staff is anchored by James Albury.

Game 1 - Adelaide, South Australia

The game opened up with a few scoreless innings. Not a lot happening with the first two innings as Crawford (BRIS) and Atherton (ADEL) pitch well. In the top of the 3rd, 2nd round draft pick Logan Corless gets on with a single and Jose Gil takes Atherton deep on a two run shot. Brisbane's lead however would wain as Molina would hit a HR in the fourth to bring them within one and another run would score that inning. Tied up in the bottom of the fifth Adelaide would showcase its star power. Adelaide's Welch, Moy, and Brett Jackson would all his solo shot home runs as well as some good doubles baseball to move and score runners. Just an inning later Welch would add another to his total bringing the lead to 10 to 2. This game was dominated by Tim Atherton's spectacular performance as he struck out 8 in 8.1 and Adelaide's power prowess.

Game 2 - Adelaide, South Australia

Brisbane would once again open up the top of the third and grab the lead. This time Matt Nilsson, DH, would hit a 3 run 2 out double to clear the bases and grab a quick lead. Adelaide's answer would come in the fourth as they put a two spot on the board as Welch and Molina hit a pair of doubles. The top of the sixth would see a great day continue for Matt Nilsson, who already had a double in the third and a triple in the second, would hit a solo HR off Matt Williams. This increased the Bandits lead to 4-2. However, Adelaide would tie it up in the bottom half as Jackson and Molina both hit their second HRs of the series. But Jung-joo Park, a 32 year old RF from Korea, would not let Brisbane fall, hitting a solo shot Matt Williams. Williams would complete the seventh without further damage. With the lead gone Adelaide would fail to score in the seventh and Brisbane could not expand on the lead in the top of the 8th as prospect Brett Waddingham retired the side. Adelaide down 5-4 with 6 outs remaining began to show some emotion in the dugout. And boy did it work. Adelaide's own Stefan Welch came up to the plate with two runners on and delivered. Welch hit a deep deep deep fly ball that left the yard and sent a crushing blow to Brisbane. Brisbane down 7-5 in the top of the ninth was doing everything to get another game tomorrow. Logan Coreless hits a lead off double. Jose Gill struck out on a fastball from Vic Black (ADEL). Jung Joo Park hits a triple to score Coreless. 7-6. Then Mitch Nilsson steps in the box. on a 2-2 fastball Nilsson hit a 399ft HR to right taking the lead of the game and closer Matt Times retired the side in the bottom of the ninth to force game three.

Game 3 - Adelaide, South Australia

Game 3, the Grand Finale of the Claxton Shield and the 2016 Season. Brisbane, once again, would get off to a hot start scoring 2 in the top of the first. Brisbane, looking to get out to an early lead would score two more on the top third. For Adelaide fans, they could feel the tension snap at Norwood Oval. For the third straight year it looked like their team would lose the Claxton Shield. A solo shot by Rolexis Molina would tighten the scoreline to 4-1. However it was the fifth inning that made the Oval come alive. Adelaide would see the bases loaded with two out with Molina stepping to the plate again. Molina would work the count to 3-2 after falling behind 0-2. Molina, then hit a home run. A GRAND SLAM. A GRAAAAAAAAAAND SLAMMMMM. Molina pushed his team out in front 5-4. A GRAAAND SLAAAMMM. Adelaide would add another HR from RF Tom Brice in the seventh. Vic Black came in to close out the game and give Adelaide its first Claxton Shield title.
