James Stuart Australia’s World Baseball Classic campaign came to a heartbreaking end on Monday night, falling 7–2 to Korea in a game where the margin ultimately proved just as important as the result itself. The defeat left Pool C in a three-way tie between Korea, Australia and Chinese Taipei, forcing the tournament’s run quotient tiebreaker into effect. Korea advanced to the quarterfinals as runner-up behind Japan after finishing with the superior ratio of runs scored to def

Australia’s bid for a famous upset at the World Baseball Classic fell just short on Sunday night, with the world number one nation Japan rallying late to secure a 4–3 win at the Tokyo Dome.

Australia notched a second win to start the WBC, handling Czechia to the comfortable tune of 5-1. The result was built on a dominant pitching display that has allowed a mere 7 hits so far in the tournament.

Australia opened its 2026 World Baseball Classic campaign with a composed 3–0 victory over Chinese Taipei, relying on dominant pitching and a pair of timely home runs to break open a tight contest.

The 2026 World Baseball Classic looms as another defining chapter for Australian baseball. After a breakthrough quarterfinal run in 2023, Australia returns to the global stage with belief, but also with the full weight of a brutally competitive pool. From March 5, the Aussies will face Japan, Korea, Chinese Taipei and Czechia, with only the top two advancing.

James Lane The 2025 Australian Baseball League season ended with one of the most unlikely championship outcomes in recent memory, as the Adelaide Giants upset the Sydney Blue Sox to claim the ABL title. Sydney entered the Championship Series as clear favourites after finishing the regular season with a dominant 24–14 record. Adelaide, by contrast, scraped into the postseason with a 19–20 mark and were widely viewed as underdogs heading into the three-game series in Sydney. Ov

Round 10 brought the regular season to its conclusion, and while the Australian Baseball League’s Championship Series pairing had been foreshadowed a week earlier, the final answers were only locked in after a tense, rain-affected weekend.

Sydney became the first team to clinch a spot in the Championship Series, navigating a road trip to Perth to take three of four. At the same time, Adelaide powered through Brisbane with a matching 3–1 series win, dragging themselves back to .500 and keeping their momentum in the battle for second.

The calendar flipped to a new year, and with it the final stretch of the ABL season came into view. Sydney remain on top, Adelaide proved they can bloody the league leaders, while Perth quietly assembled a series win that reshaped the chasing pack.

Round 7 delivered exactly what you'd hope for in the post-Christmas round: packed stadiums, wild momentum swings, two extra-inning finishes, and a ladder that twisted almost by the hour.

Round 6 brought two unexpectedly tight series, as blowouts were followed by nail-biters. At the centre of it all: the Sydney Blue Sox, who began the week by obliterating Adelaide, yet somehow still only split the series 2-2. Around them, Perth quietly stitched together a confidence-buidling weekend.

After a month of dominance, Round 5 finally brought the Sydney Blue Sox back to earth. Their franchise-record nine-game winning streak was snapped with not just one, but two losses over the weekend.

Round 4 delivered us a Sydney team that can’t stop winning, and a wonderfully unpredictable Bandits-Giants matchup. For Perth, it was the nightmare continuation of a slump that’s risks becoming outright alarming.

For the first time this season, the ABL got through a full slate of eight games. And in that rare clarity, one truth emerged above everything else: the Sydney Blue Sox are dangerous. A dominant 4–0 sweep over Adelaide has launched the Sox to the top of the ladder, while Brisbane and Perth delivered a wildly uneven yet perfectly balanced 2–2 split.

Week 2 of the ABL season saw plenty more action and another healthy dose of meddling by the weather. The Adelaide Giants were the big winners, extending their win streak to four, while Brisbane and Sydney traded blows in a four-game split.

The Australian Baseball League returned this week with an opening round that wasted absolutely no time delivering absurd scorelines, breakout performances and certainly no cooperation from the Brisbane weather.
