AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE
The Adelaide Bite finished the regular season by taking 3 of 4 from the Melbourne Aces. They won the first 2, dropped the 3rd, and won the finale. Chan-Jong Moon appeared in all 4 games for the Bite and went 4-10 with a double, 2 RBI, 3 walks, 2 strikeouts, 2 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases. Moon finished the regular season with 20 swipes. Tyler Brunnemann appeared in game 2 of this series and got the save (8); he walked 2 in the 9th but was able to avoid further trouble; he also struck out 2.
Jared Cruz also appeared in all 4 games in the series for Melbourne. He finished 2-9 with a double, 2 runs scored, 6 strikeouts, and a stolen base (2).
By virtue of having the ABL's best record, the Adelaide Bite will have a bye to the Championship Series, which begins on February 6.
LIDOM
A new champion was crowned in the Dominican Republic, and it was los Gigantes del Cibao. They won the best-of-9 series over Estrellas with a 12-5 win in game 8 yesterday. Gigantes faced an early 2-0 deficit in the series, but they turned the tables on Estrellas by winning the next 4 games to take the series lead, and eventually, they got the win. This is Gigantes' first title. For Estrellas, their title drought continues; their last LIDOM championship occurred in 1968.
James Hoyt appeared in game 7, which was a 2-1 Estrellas victory. He came on in the 6th and although he issued a walk, he was able to get the final 2 outs of the inning.
