Bonito Powers Meteors to 8-6 Win
The Melbourne Meteors beat the Nairobi Black Rhinos, 8-6, at Meteor Crater. The Meteors got a fine performance from right fielder Gualter Bonito, who went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 5. Melbourne pitcher Alastair Bacon got the win, upping his record to 2-0. David Numbers got the loss. The loss makes Nairobi 7-5.

Had Sharafat Mir not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Mir hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Meteors.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Bonito told a Melbourne Times reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
