Karani goes 3-for-5 in Black Rhinos Win
Riding the 3-hit performance of the former first overall pick Abbas Karani, the Nairobi Black Rhinos defeated the Beijing Emperors, 6-1. Nairobi reliever Paul Henry snagged the win, upping his record to 3-0. Jaime Torres shouldered the loss. Wei-fang Cheng picked up his 2nd save of the season.

Nairobi used the timely hitting of Rashid bin Jibril to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Black Rhinos on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Nairobi manager J Stell.

Beijing falls to 16-8.
