Kangaroos Win, 3-1
|
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the North Melbourne Kangaroos and St. Kilda Saints.
In a low-scoring tilt between the North Melbourne Kangaroos and the St. Kilda Saints, John Messenger was the difference-maker. The North Melbourne right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. In 6 innings, Messenger surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run. Joe Pickwell, credited with the save, is now 12 for 20 in save opportunities.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Del McGoldrick? The North Melbourne center fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Kangaroos on top, 1-0. For the game, McGoldrick had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
Afterward, Kangaroos manager G Maloney was ebullient. "That was a fun game to coach," he told a group of reporters, adding, "I hope it was just as fun to watch."
The Kangaroos now own a record of 47-56.
