The Perth Heat won the tournament after defeating the New South Wales Patriots 3–2 in the third game of a best of three series. This historic tournament served as the final edition of the Claxton Shield as a standalone national competition before its integration into the newly formed Australian Baseball League (ABL) in 2010. The victory was particularly significant for Western Australian baseball, as it represented Perth's first Claxton Shield title since 2001 and demonstrated the growing parity among Australia's regional baseball programs.Bostrom Ryan November 2006 A History of Australian Baseball: Time and Game https://doi.org/10.1123/shr.37.2.176 Sport History Review 37 2 176–184 10.1123/shr.37.2.176 1087-1659 subscription Overview The 2009 Shield series excluded the Australian Provincial baseball team and consisted of four, three-game series against each team including a two home, two away and a bye round for each of the teams.

Although the average maximum temperature is 25 °C (77 °F), most games were above this, with Game 8 of the showcase round between South Australia and Victoria Aces hitting 32 °C (90 °F) during the match. On 7 December, the temperature dropped to a maximum of 22 °C with a strong breeze over Blacktown as well as clouds, however, no rain fell and the games finished as scheduled. A large low-pressure system and long periods of rain forced the postponement of both games on 12 December in Altona, Victoria and Canberra. Games the next day were rescheduled to allow for 7-inning double headers. Game 1 between Queensland Rams and Victoria Aces was relocated to Mildura, Victoria where Game 2 and 3 were also being played.http://www.baseball.com.au/default.asp?Page=49180 https://archive.today/20120719232907/http://www.baseball.com.au/default.asp?Page=49180 dead 19 July 2012 BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR A BALLGAME...Let's play two!
