Saints Paste 10-6 Loss on Raiders
Behind the hitting of Billy Rigden, the St. Kilda Saints stopped the Canberra Raiders, 10-6. Rigden was 3-5 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Saints. Robbie Vian, the winning pitcher, is now 10-8. He went 6 innings, allowing 6 runs on 11 hits, while fanning 2 and walking 2. At 71-52, St. Kilda is in second place in the National League.

St. Kilda used the clutch hitting of Graeme Coverdale to capture the win. The second baseman drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Saints the lead, 7-6. For the game, Coverdale had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Saints manager Tom Rutherford. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
