For the first time this season two regular-season games were played on one day as Saturday’s action got us underway in 2021.

It was the same two teams with Melbourne and Canberra splitting a doubleheader at Melbourne Ballpark.

Melbourne will chase a fourth-straight win tonight after recording a comeback victory in game one of its doubleheader against Canberra at Melbourne Ballpark.

Delmon Young’s two-run double off the wall in the fifth put the Aces up and they went on to win 5-3.

Damek Tomscha’s sixth-inning homer broke a tie and Melbourne’s offence fired late as the Aces bounced back to earn a split of their two-game series against Canberra on Sunday night.

Melbourne added five runs in the seventh after Tomscha’s second go-ahead homer of the season to complete an 8-2 win at MIT Ballpark after trailing 2-0 early.

No Manny, no worries. Sydney sent a statement to the rest of the Australian Baseball League on Thursday night, downing defending champions Melbourne in emphatic fashion at Blacktown International Sportspark.

The Blue Sox shrugged off losing their marquee man for Opening Weekend earlier in the day, and a couple of early runs to the Aces, to triumph 12-6.

New Melbourne manager Allan de San Miguel is confident the Aces have put together a roster capable of defending their Australian Baseball League title this summer.

Melbourne lost a stack of experience following last season’s Claxton Shield success with de San Miguel, former big leaguers Luke Hughes and Peter Moylan, along with veteran pitcher Dushan Ruzic all retiring.

Melbourne has re-signed 2020 Brett Sports Australian Baseball League Hitting Champion Delmon Young for the upcoming season.

The 10-year big leaguer will be returning for a third season with the Aces on the back of a dominant campaign where he helped Melbourne to its first title in the relaunched league.
