The Australian Baseball Federation’s 75th Claxton Shield competition got underway earlier this month with a one-week Showcase Round at Blacktown Olympic Park, home of the New South Wales Patriots. The five Claxton Shield teams played each other once in a round-robin format between December 2 and 7 in a week that also included a Celebrity Home Run Derby and the MLB Roadshow, among other events.
When the dust settled, both the Perth Heat and Victoria Aces were 4-1, New South Wales and the Queensland Rams were both 2-2, while South Australia was winless. Perth gets the nod for first place in the Showcase Round by virtue of their 6-5 win in 11 innings over Victoria on December 4. Perth centerfielder Nick Kimpton had three hits in the game, including a game-winning double in the 11th frame.
The Claxton Shield schedule runs through the league finals in early February.
