Fitzies Snatch Late-Game, 3-2 Win
In a low-scoring contest between the Tokyo Fitzies and the Melbourne Meteors, 27-year old right-handed pitcher Charlie Copeland proved to be the difference. The Tokyo right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Fitzies win. In 8 innings, Copeland surrendered 11 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs. The victory puts Tokyo at 57-96.

Tokyo took a 3-2 lead on Rory Bell's 5th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Bell hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Melbourne pitcher Max Schmalzl visibly frustrated.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said Melbourne skipper Bob Meteors, "and it cost us."
