Meteors Earn Win with Late Rally
The Melbourne Meteors weathered an outstanding game by Tokyo right fielder Arun Virinchi to topple the Fitzies, 6-5. Virinchi went 2 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and 3 walks, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Tokyo is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 7 in a row.

Melbourne used the timely hitting of James Weatherhead to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 13th inning to put the Meteors on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Feels good to be on the winning side," said Weatherhead.
