Melbourne Wins, 5-3
The Nairobi Black Rhinos got a superb performance from pitcher Quinton Ayala, but the Melbourne Meteors still won the game, 5-3. Ayala threw 5.0 innings of 2-hit ball. Mudasser Mughal got the win, improving to 5-3. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 6 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 7 and walking 1. Rex Murray was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 3 of 7 save opportunities.

Melbourne used the timely hitting of Ayyad Safwan to capture the win. The shortstop socked a grand slam home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Meteors ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Safwan.

Melbourne now has a 3-game win streak.
