Slide Continues for Foxes
Starting pitcher Branko Kuchek fulfilled his part of the bargain, helping the Nairobi Black Rhinos stymie the Black Forest Foxes, 2-1. Kuchek, now 10-11, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 3 hits, while striking out 4, walking 3, and allowing 1 run. Gerardo Mendoza picked up his 17th save of the season.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Alberto Inelán? The 25-year old shortstop Inelán stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put Nairobi up, 2-1. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We did just enough to win," Inelán said.

Black Forest is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 6 in a row.
