Melbourne Bitters starter Ángel López hurled his team past the Tauranga Taniwha, 3-1. Noriaki Suzuki finished to wrap up his 1st save. The win makes Melbourne 28-32.

The Bitters liked what they saw from López. The 20-year- old pitcher had a commanding presence on the mound, limiting the Taniwha to no runs on 5 hits over 7.1 innings, and striking out 7.

After the game, López told the Melbourne Daily, "Like I've always said, the challenge is what makes this game worth playing."
