Swans Get Past North Melbourne for 5-4 Win
The South Melbourne Swans scored a tight 5-4 win versus the North Melbourne Kangaroos at Albert Park Baseball Grounds. South Melbourne pitcher Kadin Balby held his own in the contest. The Kangaroos drop to 10-11 and continue their mediocre start to the 2022 season.

Rhett Johnston was the walk-off hero for South Melbourne. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Swans pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring double to send the teams home.

"The ending was a real humdinger," Balby told reporters after the game.
