Falcons Suffer 5-4 Loss to Meteors
The Karachi Falcons got a superb performance from pitcher Scott van Veen, but the Melbourne Meteors still won the game, 5-4. van Veen threw 5.0 innings of 2-hit ball. Max Schmalzl earned the save, his 13th, for the Meteors. Melbourne has a record of 60-70, placing them 4th in the Intercontinental Baseball League Asian Division.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Pavla Elovsky? The Melbourne third baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Meteors on top, 2-0. For the game, Elovsky had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It never gets old," said Elovsky. "Winning, that is."
