Cronulla left fielder Bill Gower was sensational. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Newcastle beat the Sharks, 5-3. The winning pitcher was Ray Strachan. He tossed 96 pitches over 5.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. Kevin Firkins recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 8 for 10.

Everett Essex, who finished 5th in the NL in doubles with 37 in 2015, helped out the Newcastle cause in the top of the second inning with a run-scoring ground out. For the game, the catcher drew 1 walk in 4 trips to the plate.

Essex said his team "played with focus."

Newcastle now has a 3-game win streak.
