Murdoch Dominant in Bitters Victory
Melbourne got a strong outing from Michael Murdoch as the Bitters defeated the North Sydney Kookaburras, 4-0, at The Nest. The Bitters, now 10-3, have played inspired baseball.

The standout performance belonged to 18-year-old Murdoch. With his baby face, he looked more like someone starting for a high school team than for the Bitters. His performance, however, was nothing short of top-notch. The youngster dominated the Kookaburras, striking out 7 and scattering 5 hits over 8 innings. Murdoch is now 3-0 on the season.

"Throwing strikes was the main thing," Murdoch said.
