Riley Hits 3 home runs in Meteors Win
The Melbourne Meteors powered past the Nairobi Black Rhinos, 16-8, at Rhinos Ballpark. Artie Riley hit 3 home runs. He drove in 6 runs and scored three times, to lead the charge. Reliever Adrian Dean picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Yves Lopes took the loss. The win puts Melbourne at 2-0.

Melbourne used the timely hitting of Kasib Hamzah to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Meteors on top, 9-7. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Meteors manager Bob Meteors. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
