Raiders Beat Bulldogs, 5-1
The Canberra Raiders beat the Canterbury Bulldogs, 5-1, at Canberra Stadium. Starting pitcher Rylan Eyres-Brown was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. The Raiders improve their record to 36-45 with the win over Canterbury.

The Raiders got an important contribution from second baseman Matt Melsome, who in the bottom of the second punched a first pitch cutter into left for a grand slam home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Raiders ahead, 5-0.

"The team always comes first, so pulling out the win on a day like today is the most important thing," Eyres-Brown told a reporter while responding to autograph requests. "Our fans like to come out to see a win, so I'm happy to do what I can to give them that."
