Notes on Phillies and former Phillies participating in winter leagues.
Australian Baseball League :
12/20/24 action :
Adelaide 3 (13-9) Sydney 1 (13-8)
Nikau Pouaka Grego (2B) went 2 for 2 (singles) with a sacrifice and run scored for Adelaide.

Catcher Lou Albrecht was 1 for 4 (single) and former Phillies minor leaguer Rixon Wingrove (DH) was 1 for 4 as well with a single.
Melbourne 11 (10-10) Canberra 8 (12-10)
Former Phillies minor league catcher Logan Moore went 3 for 4 (two doubles & single) with a walk and two runs scored in his debut for Melbourne - Logan was one of the first players I wrote about years ago when I initially started my Phillies minor league coverage - he’s now 34 years old and has played multiple seasons of independent league baseball - last summer in Mexico. He was drafted by the Phillies back in 2011 - is a very good defensive receiver. Former Phillies minor league C/OF Chris Burke went for 4 (singles) for Melbourne.
