Raiders Pull No Punches, Down Demons, 14-1
A 4-RBI performance from left fielder Les Westren, the 5th overall pick in the 2020 draft, led the Canberra Raiders to a win over the Melbourne Demons, 14-1. Steve Meggison, the winner, goes to 1-1. He allowed 1 run on 8 hits, with no walks and 1 strikeout over 7 innings. The Raiders, now 3-9, have not found much traction so far in 2022.

Bob Burdikin, who finished 3rd in the NL in batting average with .335 last year, chipped in for Canberra with a grand slam home run in the bottom of the second. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 5 RBI.

Said Melbourne manager Sean Morgan: "We got our rear ends kicked."
