Meteors Rally Late to Nip Black Rhinos
The Melbourne Meteors defeated the Nairobi Black Rhinos, 8-7. Doing his part was catcher Sharafat Mir, who was 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. The Meteors bumped their record to 66-64 with this win.

The decisive blow was delivered by Danny Thomas in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off fireballing right-hander Ayman bin Ishaq to win the game for Melbourne. The home crowd went nuts.

"This wasn't a good win," said Thomas. "It was a great win."
