A 3-RBI performance from Nick Jeffcoate, who finished 5th in the WL in batting average with .314 last year, helped the Cronulla Sharks beat the Canberra Raiders, 12-2. Cronulla is now 51-25, 3½ games up in the Waratah League.

With Cronulla leading 2-1 in the bottom of the second, Jeffcoate hit a changeup from Matt Melsome for a 3-run home run. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Sharks ahead, 5-1.

"You can't sugarcoat this one," said Canberra manager Richard Hager. "We got flat-out beat."
