Aces Spoil Opening Day for Giants, Their Fans
The Adelaide Giants inaugurated the 2044 campaign with a disappointing 8-4 loss to the Melborne Aces at Giants Grounds. Melborne designated hitter Sean Taintey had a big impact on the outcome. He went 1 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The winner was Alastair Lightfoot in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Ben Flemming took the loss.

In the top of the first, Taintey pounced on a 0-1 fastball from Ben Flemming and hit a 3-run home run. It put Melborne on top, 3-0.

"We did more than enough to get the win," said Taintey.
