Kangaroos Mow Down Knights, 9-4
Essendon right fielder Tristan Starling was sensational. He went 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 2, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. North Melbourne beat the Knights, 9-4. With this game in the books, North Melbourne is 50-61, Essendon 58-53.

North Melbourne used a well-timed hit by Ned Kirk to capture the win. The shortstop socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Kangaroos ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Nice win for us," said Kirk. "Now we'll go after the next one."
