Kookaburras Drop Close One Late
The North Sydney Kookaburras and Melbourne Bitters provided some drama for the home crowd.

Malcolm Archdeacon was instrumental in his team's 8-7 triumph over the North Sydney Kookaburras. The right fielder went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Melbourne Bitters. Elvis Drake, now 4-2, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed 2 runs on 2 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 1.

In the top of the eighth, the Bitters grabbed the lead when Archdeacon hit his 12th home run of the season. The 2-run home run off Goldofrede Burmester made it 8-7, Melbourne.

Bitters manager Travis Mitchell wasn't all too pleased, despite the win, telling reporters that the performance highlighted some clear areas for improvement moving forward. He refused to be more specific, however. "I'm not gonna publicize our weaknesses," he said. "That stuff stays in the clubhouse."

Melbourne is now 37-39, North Sydney 41-35.
