New South Wales will start its Australian Women's Baseball Championships defence with a doubleheader on day one of the 2019 event in Canberra.


NSW will open the event against Western Australia from 9am (local time) on Diamond 1 ahead of a rematch of last year's gold medal game against Victoria Blue on Diamond 2 from noon.


New South Wales secured its fourth Women's crown in five years with a 7-6 victory over Victoria Blue at Geelong Baseball Centre last April.

Jorja Lyberopoulos, Shai-Lee Reeves and Ebony Van Eynde step up onto the roster after competing at last year's Youth tournament in Geelong.


Victoria Blue has several new faces also but retains Emeralds Shae Lillywhite, Leslie Anglin and Abbey Kelly, while Morgan Doty joins after playing for Western Australia at AWC2018.


Blue will clash with Victoria White in today's other 9am start on Diamond 2.


Queensland and South Australia get their campaign underway on Diamond 1 at midday.
