Former Red Knight wins title down under.

Adam Weisenburger ('07) recently led the Brisbane Bandits to the championship of the Australian Baseball League, the team's third consecutive title.

An three-year letterwinner in hockey for the Red Knights, and an all-conference performer as a senior, Weisenburger played the last seven seasons in the Milwaukee Brewers' organization after graduating from Miami University in 2011.

He traveled to Australia to join the Bandits for the 2017-18 season, batting .292 with six home runs and 22 RBI in 34 games during the regular season.

In four post-season games, he had a hit in each game, going 5-for-11 with a home run, four RBI and an on-base percentage of .538.

In the final game of the best-of-three championship series, Weisenburger hit a two-out, three-run home run to give Brisbane all the offense it would need in a 4-2 win.

During his career as a Red Knight, Weisenburger starred in three sports. He was a four-time all-conference selection in baseball and also earned all-conference honors in soccer while lead BSM to a Class A state title.

During his seven seasons in the Brewers' organization, Weisenburger was a two-time Southern League (Class AA) all-star and was named the organization's top defensive catcher in 2012.

Adam Weisenburger is congratulated at home after a spring training home run in 2014.

In seven minor league seasons, he played 350 games, hitting .240 with 13 home runs and 105 RBI and spent portions of three seasons playing in Class AAA, the top class of minor league baseball.

Weisenburger is currently back in the United States and working out in preparation for the 2018 season.
