Samurai Pull Out Late-Game Win, 6-5
Crowds lined up early in front of Fitzies Stadium, eagerly awaiting the start of the 2155 World Baseball Association season. On the mound was Amrus Mtembei for the visiting Karachi Falcons and Cosmo Laureano for the hometown Tokyo Samurai. In a spirited contest, the Samurai pulled out the win, defeating the Falcons by the score of 6-5. Especially impressive was Calisto Ehrlich. Tokyo reliever Pedro Peña picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Kateb Ouko absorbed the loss.

Tokyo got a knockout punch from Khaldun Kanja. The pinch hitter hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"It's great when the crowd gets into it," Kanja said.
