Cairo Topples Melbourne, 9-5
Due in large part to right fielder Avatsara Kesiraju, the Cairo Pharaohs sunk the Melbourne Meteors, 9-5. Kesiraju went 3-5 with a triple and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Chinh Tran-Dinh earned the win, while 26-year old left-handed pitcher Christian Lee took the loss for Melbourne. Cairo is second in the Intercontinental Baseball League Afro-European Division with a record of 45-46.

Kaleb Ame, who is tied for 10th in the IBL in home runs with 14, helped out the Cairo cause in the bottom of the third inning with a run-scoring walk. For the game, the third baseman drew 1 walk in 4 trips to the plate.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Ame told the Cairo Gazette.
