Meteors Deal Voyageurs 4-3 Defeat
Oslo second baseman Cal Givens had a good game, even if his team did not. The Voyageurs dropped a 4-3 decision to Melbourne at OsloDome. Givens was 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Keitaro Ito, who finished 3rd in the IBL in ERA with 2.82 last year, was the winning pitcher. Over 5.2 innings, he allowed 1 run on 5 hits, with 5 walks and 2 strikeouts. The Meteors, now 6-12, have not found much traction so far in 2150.

The Meteors got a big at-bat from left fielder Edgardo Román. For the game, Román was 1 for 3 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the top of the fourth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season gave Melbourne a 2-0 lead.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Román, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
