Cawston Leads Knights to 6-0 Win Over Kangaroos
Essendon catcher Ian Cawston was a significant contributor in his team's 6-0 triumph over the North Melbourne Kangaroos. He hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4 for Essendon. Matthew Westaway earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. His record is now 1-0. Essendon now has a record of 15-12 with the win.

With Essendon leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Cawston hit a cutter from Hans Kalman for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Knights ahead, 4-0.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Cawston said.
