The Nairobi Black Rhinos knocked off the Melbourne Meteors, 5-3, in Intercontinental Baseball League action at Rhinos Ballpark. Nairobi pitcher and Mombasa, Kenya, native Amrus Mtembei had an outstanding performance. The win has Nairobi at 37-55.

In the top of the ninth, Gualter Bonito stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Meteors were trailing 5-3, but had runners on 2nd and 3rd. That's when Ayman bin Ishaq made a terrific pitch and Bonito flied out. Gone was the dream of a Melbourne comeback.
