Meteors Stick Generals with 8-5 Loss
Despite a great performance by Rome shortstop Tokimasa Nakada, the Melbourne Meteors defeated the Generals by the score of 8-5 at The Colosseum. Nakada was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Matous Spurck was the winner. Over 7 innings, he yielded 4 runs on 5 hits, with 4 walks and 1 strikeout. With the win, Melbourne has a record of 77-62. Rome falls to 71-68.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Edgardo Román? The Melbourne left fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Meteors on top, 4-0. For the game, Román had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"Whenever I help the team," said Román, "I feel like I earned my paycheck."
