Meteors Capture Close Win
The rain could not keep the home crowd from enjoying a good ballgame.

Oslo wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Carlos Rúbio, falling to the Melbourne Meteors, 4-3. Rúbio threw 8.0 innings allowing 2 runs for the losing team. Melbourne reliever Max Schmalzl picked up the win to move to 6-6. Cosmo Laureano suffered the loss. Wendel Lippelt recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 8 for 10.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Jorge Rodríguez? The 24-year old second baseman Rodríguez stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put Melbourne up, 4-3. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

Oslo manager Marq Ualler said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.

The 4th-place Meteors bumped their record to 43-53.
