Canberra shortstop Jory Esplin had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Esplin went 3-5 with a home run, a triple, and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2, even as St. George beat the Raiders, 5-4. Ron Brennan earned his 22nd save in 26 tries. The victory gives the Dragons a record of 45-45.

One significant plate appearance for St. George came with two out in the top of the sixth inning. Dragons shortstop Bill Orson hit a run-scoring single, which helped his team go on to win.

"Both teams played hard," said St. George manager Robert Culmer.
