Canniano had 4 wins in 14 appearances for Brisbane. Canniano has an ERA of 2.60 and had 116 strikeouts in 93 IP. Canniano also pitches a 1-2-3 inning. The pitching duel would continue until the bottom of the third when Carlos Gai, Melbourne, hit a solo HR to give Melbourne the lead. In the bottom of the fifth Harry Hoffman would hit a one out double off Dan Canniano, but Gai, C, would strike out and 2B Byron Blume would strike out as well as Alex Canniano would escape the pressure. Logan Coreless would hit a leadoff double but would be out trying to stretch it to third. A huge baserunning error that could have let Brisbane into the scoring column. Aaron Sayers would then hit a HR for Brisbane to lead off the 7th off of Alex Balog. Balog's first real mistake of the game. Balog would get out of the rest of the inning without further trouble. 1-1. A 1-2-3 inning from Canniano would ensure no Aces response in the bottom of the seventh. Balog would return the favor in the top of the eighth. Canniano would get into trouble in the 8th. a leadoff walk to Jared Cruz would be quickly followed by a double from star SS Barry Bacon (MELB). With runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out RF Jain-gun Pang came to the plate only to be pinch hit for by Joshua Roberts who flied out. Rookie of the year candidate, 2-3 on the day Lindsay Wall came to the plate with two outs. Wall would also fly out to center to end the Melbourne threat. Balog pitched a gem in the top of the ninth produce another 3 outs to keep Brisbane at bay. In the ninth Canniano would record an out, then Drew Bull hit a single. An error on a pickoff move would allow Bull to move to 2nd. Harman (DH - Melbourne) would be intentionally walked, bringing up 3B Harry Hofmann. Hofmann grounds to second into a Fielder's Choice. Two outs with the game winning run on third, but Gai would also ground out. To Extras we go. Balog would continue to pitch into the 10th. Canniano would get an out then walk Barry Bacon.
