Melbourne Stopped, 6-4, by North Sydney
North Sydney took on Melbourne in front of a lively crowd.

North Sydney designated hitter Noboru Sato made his presence felt in the 6-4 Kookaburras triumph over the Melbourne Bitters. Sato was 1 for 2 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. António Sánchez picked up the win, improving his season record to 2-4. He struck out 8 in 6 innings.

Sato had a game-changing home run in the top of the seventh. On a first pitch fastball from Elvis Drake, he banged a 3-run home run to left-center, giving the Kookaburras a 6-3 lead. It was the 4th home run of the year for Sato.

"It all comes down to execution," said North Sydney manager Jason Brooks. "Baseball 101."

The Kookaburras improved their record to 31-24 by beating Melbourne.
