The Geelong Cats and Melbourne Demons were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Melbourne Demons bested the Geelong Cats by a score of 5-2, with third baseman Leon Mortimer getting the main credit. On the day, Mortimer went 3-5 with a triple and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Demons. The win makes Melbourne 53-66.

Melbourne grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Mortimer, who is tied for 2nd in the NL in triples with 8, hit a run-scoring triple. His 8th triple of the season put the Demons out in front, 2-1.

"I just try to be a dog, have good swings, good at-bats," said Mortimer.
