North Melbourne Kangaroos (57-63) 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 2 4 10 0
Newcastle Bombers (65-55) 0 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 5 0
Kangaroos Edge Bombers, 4-3
The 4-3 North Melbourne win over Newcastle was due largely to Mat Stringfellow. The Kangaroos third baseman went 2 for 2 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The 6th-place Kangaroos lifted their record to 57-63.

The outcome might have been different for North Melbourne, had it not been for Ned Kirk, the 34-year old shortstop . Kirk stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put North Melbourne up, 4-3. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"If you ever get this game figured out," said Newcastle manager Silvio Dante, "let me know."
