Geelong Cats starter Desi Rutherford was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Newcastle Bombers, 5-3. Rutherford went 5 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 3, and struck out 4. His record improves to 6-6. Bob Ridley was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 13 of 15 save opportunities.

Frederick Ella, the former first round draft pick , had a direct impact on the outcome. Ella contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Geelong up, 5-2.

"Enjoyed this one," Rutherford told the Geelong Herald. "But it's back to work tomorrow."

Geelong is 9th in the National League with a record of 45-63.
