Raiders Lose By a Run at Essendon, 7-6
Essendon Knights starter Justin Balman turned in a workmanlike performance against the Canberra Raiders at Essendon Recreation Reserve. Collin Wilday earned the save, his 17th, for the Knights. With the win over Canberra, the Knights improved to 66-59.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Chase Binns came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Canberra pitcher Matthew Popplewell, he hit a first pitch cutter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Essendon on top, 7-6.

"I felt good up there," said Binns. "I saw the ball well."
