Yousafzai Shines in 10-5 Karachi Win
A good performance from center fielder Naveed Yousafzai helped the Karachi Falcons defeat the Melbourne Meteors, 10-5. Yousafzai was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once for the Falcons. Melbourne now owns a losing streak of 5 games.

Karachi used the timely hitting of Dong-u Park to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Falcons on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We're not exactly playing great right now," said Bob Meteors, the Melbourne manager.
