Bombers Score Late, Top Blues, 2-0
Michael Ferguson pitched well, but his team, the Carlton Blues, still dropped a 2-0 decision to the Newcastle Bombers at Princes Park. Bradford Thomson converted his 29th save in 34 tries. The win for the Bombers lifted their record to 59-43.

Newcastle used the timely hitting of Rowland Whiffin to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bombers on top, 2-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Whiffin attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
