Victoria Field featured a tense pitchers' duel.

The Melbourne Bitters used a great performance from 18-year old right-handed pitcher Diego Vázquez to beat the Tauranga Taniwha, 2-1, at Victoria Field. Melbourne now sports a record of 18-20.

Malcolm Archdeacon, who is tied for 5th in the IBC in doubles with 9, took Tauranga hurler Roberto Ortíz deep in the bottom of the third. His 2-run home run put the Bitters on top, 2-1. In all, Archdeacon had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"It all depends on which version of our team shows up," said Vázquez. "When we put it all together, I think we're a great team."
