Meteors Handle Foxes, 8-7
Both teams had their chances, but the Melbourne Meteors eventually prevailed.

The Melbourne Meteors overcame a pretty good performance by Black Forest right fielder Russ Young, beating the Foxes, 8-7, at The Den. Young was 4 for 5 with a triple and 3 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Kalyanasarman Selvam got credit for the win, improving to 5-3. He allowed 2 runs on 1 hit in 2 innings.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 27-year old left fielder Bill Martin. Martin had a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Meteors ahead, 8-7. For the game, Martin had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Martin.

The Meteors improved to 63-74.
