Schneider Shines in 13-5 Melbourne Win
The Melbourne Meteors powered past the Beijing Emperors, 13-5, at Meteor Crater. Luther Schneider went 4-5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2, to lead the charge. Melbourne pitcher Kazuyuki Kanno got the win. He's now 1-0. Wei-fang Cheng was tagged with the loss. The win puts the Meteors at 27-19, while the Emperors drop to 29-17.

Owen Rabbetts's at-bat in the bottom of the sixth was significant, coming with the bases loaded and the game tied, 5-5. The Melbourne right fielder hit a run-scoring single off Wei-fang Cheng to put the Meteors up.

Schneider told a Melbourne Times reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
