The home crowd had a good time watching the Melbourne Demons and Carlton Blues get after it.

Carlton Blues starter Kaleb Heidke had all his pitches working at Princes Park. His stellar performance paved the way for an easy 8-2 Carlton win over the Melbourne Demons. Heidke went 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. His record improves to 5-0.

Early in the game, Heidke had a 2-run home run for Carlton. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Blues on top, 3-1.

Heidke attributed the win to his team's "hyper resolve."

Carlton now has a 3-game win streak.
