Geelong Bats Go Silent in 1-0 Loss
Matt Melsome left his imprint on the 1-0 Canberra win against the Geelong Cats. Melsome, who is tied for 8th in the NL with a .915 OPS, threw 7.1 innings of shutout ball. Earning his 12th save for Canberra was Ozzie Rawle. With the win, Canberra pushed its record to 26-24.

Canberra second baseman Jory Esplin contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the third. With two down, he hit a changeup into center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 50th hit of the season and put the Raiders ahead, 1-0.

Melsome said the team appreciates the support from the fans. "I'm glad we could reward them with a good win," he said after the game.
