COVID STRIKES

THE 2021-22 Australian Baseball League season has been called off due to the ramifications of Covid-19.

The start of the new season had already been pushed back to mid-December before the decision was made to abandon the campaign.

“There is still too much uncertainty,” Baseball Australia chief executive Glenn Williams said. “We know how much the ABL means to our fans, players, coaches, officials and the wider baseball community and we exhausted all options to try and find a way to conduct a sustainable season, but we couldn’t find a way.”
