Black Rhinos Rally For Late Win Over Shogun
The Nairobi Black Rhinos did just enough to sneak past the Tokyo Shogun, 4-3, at Tokyo Ballpark. Nairobi pitcher Kent Martin, in particular, had a standout performance. Martin went 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 1, and struck out 5. His record improves to 10-5. The win elevated the Black Rhinos to 55-51.

Tomás Ramírez had a timely hit for Nairobi in the top of the ninth. With two out and a runner on 2nd, Ramírez hit a run-scoring single off Chin Choi. It put the Black Rhinos in front, 2-1.

"Winning never gets dull," said Martin.
