Perth put runners on first and third with one out in the bottom of the inning, but could not tie the score. Davies had two hits and scored twice for Melbourne. Justin Huber drove in two runs. Three Melbourne relievers combined to pitch 8.1 scoreless innings: Bubbie Buzachero went 3.1, Andrew Russell pitched two, and Kevin Reese worked the final three to get the win. Mitchell Graham went 4-for-6 to lead Perth. Benn Grice took the loss, giving up the winning run in his third inning of work. Joshua Hendricks was 1-for-4 for Melbourne.

No local tv tonight, so that means Pek! is going to score 50
