Late Magic Gets North Melbourne 7-5 Win
The North Melbourne Kangaroos topped the Wests Tigers, 7-5, in National League action at Leichhardt Oval. The standout performance belonged to North Melbourne pitcher and Sunshine Coast, Australia_, native Sam Purtell. Merle Hadden, 3-1, earned the win in relief. He allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. The 9th-place Tigers have lost 4 straight games.

Ron Brumby said the idea of hitting a home run barely crossed his mind when he came to bat in the top of the ninth. Brumby belted a 2-run home run to stake North Melbourne to a 7-5 lead. His 7th home run of the season came off Wests pitcher Frank Coughlan.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Purtell.
