The Essendon Knights defeated the Geelong Cats, 6-2, in National League action at Kardinia Park. Essendon pitcher Justin Balman had a standout performance. Balman, now 2-1, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 3, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. The win puts Essendon at 5-7.

Essendon used the bat of Claud Gard to get the win. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Knights ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We had a nice day," said Essendon skipper Phorgotten Son.
