Wheeler has 4 hits to Fuel Meteors Offense
The Melbourne Meteors powered past the Karachi Falcons, 8-6, at Muhammad Ali Jinnah Stadium. Bobby Wheeler provided some of the pop. He was 4 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. The Meteors, at 56-54, sit in third place in the Intercontinental Baseball League Asian Division.

Axel Gundersson went 3-3 with 3 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI for Melbourne. The 26-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the top of the fourth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring walk off Susumu Okamoto. It was his 7th walk of the season.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Gundersson, "but we got it done."
