Round 1 Recap: Sox slug their way to 2–1 series win in Brisbane

Have a question or suggestion? Let us know!Andrew recaps a wild, rain-hit opening weekend as the Blue Sox take the series 2–1 in Brisbane—8–1 on Opening Night, an 18–5 demolition in the doubleheader, then a 1–0 pitchers’ duel to close. We unpack Alex Wells’ tone-setting gem (5.2 IP, 9 K, 1 ER), a deep debut from the pen (first look at Ky Jackson and a 9-strikeout burst from Josh Bishopp), and an offense that flashed real thump: .330 team AVG, 7 HR, and double-digit walks. Standouts include Eric Rataczak (6-for-13, HR, 6 RBI), Harry Fullerton (2 HR, 5 RBI), and 18-year-old Josh Nati with his first ABL knock—a three-run homer.Plus, we chat with manager Brooke Knight about what stood out—Wells’ command, bullpen roles, the surprise power, and how Sydney carries the momentum into Thursday’s home opener.
