2028/2029 Season - October

Notable Performances

2 Oct: Ronald Buckby goes 5-5 to help the Aces beat up the Venom 9-1.

3 Oct: First shutout of the season goes to Arnold Chappell, whose 4-hit, no-walk effort led the Bandits to a 5-0 victory over the Metros.

3 Oct: Seb Mant missed out on the first shutout of the year only because of the time-zone difference. He threw a brilliant 2-hit, 2-walk shutout to help the Thunder beat the Blue Sox 6-0.

7 Oct: Cavalry #2 Ramon Martinez blanked the Metros on 3 hits, a walk and 6Ks to lead his team to a 8-0 win.

9 Oct: Cowboys CF Carl Sarkies slugged 3 home runs in a 15-6 spanking of the Roos. His 3 HR scored his team 6 runs.

9 Oct: In the same game, teammate Harrison Fookes went 5-6.

13 Oct: Gavin Moss went nuts against the Thunder, going 5-6, including 2 HR. The Fury won 14-zip.

Notable Injuries

2 Oct: Hayden Dethridge blew out the tendon in his bicep and would be gone from the Adelaide rotation for 6 months. He'd recorded 1 out in his first start of the year.

22 Oct: 40 y/o Bandit Byron Eissens (.278/.422/.472, 2HR in 12 games) strained a hamstring colliding with the Heat shortstop while sliding into base. He would be out for up to 4 weeks.

23 Oct: In the very next game, Bandits' catcher Axel Stennings tore a hamstring rounding second, attempting to turn a double into a triple. He would be gone for 5 weeks. He was hitting .319/.390/.569, 4HR on the year.

Notable Trades/Signings

29 Oct: The Venom traded 28 y/o 3B Karl 'Dragoon' Rice (.287/.347/.324) to the Bandits in return for 4 prospects.

Month Awards

Rookie of the Month: 23 y/o Thunder 1B Bruce Hale. He was .259/.315/.509 in the month, 30-116, with 11 doubles, 3 triples, 4HR and 20RBI.

Hurler of the Month: Metros SP Adrian 'Melody' Kell. He was 5-0 in 6 starts, with a 3.02 ERA. He struck out 36 in 41.2 IP.

Slugger of the Month: Roos LF Elliot Wilkins. He hit .311/.382/.623 in October, 38-122, with a mammoth 12HR and 32RBI.

Other Notes

In the Australian, the Cavalry found themselves with a 1-game lead at the end of October, the Heat in second, and the Prospects with their best start to a season, ever.

The Roos held a slender 1-game advantage over the Cowboys in the NSWNZ.

Jerry 'Terminator' Lowe, Hobart's 33 y/o closer, signed for a very modest sum during Spring Training and racked up 10 saves in the month. Fury new recruit Fu Lao had an unhappy October, losing 5 of his 6 starts.
