North Melbourne Kangaroos pitcher Penn Murfitt was in fine form, leading his team past the Parramatta Giants, 1-0. Merle Hadden earned the save, his 2nd, for the Kangaroos. The 7th-place Kangaroos have won 5 in a row.

North Melbourne catcher John Mayo contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the second. With two down, he hit a cutter into left-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 25th hit of the season and put the Kangaroos ahead, 1-0.

"If I go out there and help the team win, that's all you can do," said Murfitt.
