Cronulla starter Alby Eames had a strong outing against the North Sydney Bears at North Sydney Park. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 4-2 win. With the win, the Sharks hiked their record to 63-49.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for John Elkington? The Cronulla second baseman had a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put the Sharks on top, 4-0. For the game, Elkington had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We did enough to win," said Eames.
