Kangaroos Win, 4-1, at Melbourne
Sam Purtell was locked and loaded, helping the North Melbourne Kangaroos beat the Melbourne Demons, 4-1. Purtell went 6.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 2 hits, walked 0, and struck out 4. His record improves to 3-4. North Melbourne now sits at 21-29, while Melbourne falls to 23-27.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for David Hockley? The North Melbourne right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Kangaroos on top, 2-0. For the game, Hockley had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

Purtell attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
