Demons Make It 4 Straight with 4-1 Win
Melbourne Demons starter Matthew Adam turned in a top-notch performance against the Canterbury Bulldogs at Canterbury Grounds. The result was a win for the Demons, 4-1. Adam picked up the win for Melbourne, going 6.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 5-7. Norm Riethmuller sewed up the save, his 17th.

Melbourne used a well-timed hit by Bob Kirk to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Demons ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Kirk. "And not try to do too much."

Melbourne has now won 4 games in a row.
