Grillo Helps Black Rhinos Beat Meteors, 9-8
David Grillo added some punch to the Nairobi offense, helping them outmuscle the Melbourne Meteors, 9-8. In the game, Grillo, who is tied for 7th in the IBL with a .317 batting average, went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Nairobi pitcher Marius Bassano got the win. He's now 2-3. Yoichi Matsumoto was tagged with the loss. The Black Rhinos raised their record to 48-84.

Had Darbha Gowd not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Gowd hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 9-8, in favor of the Black Rhinos.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Gowd, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
