Meteors Popped by Falcons, 6-3
The Karachi Falcons topped the Melbourne Meteors, 6-3, in Intercontinental Baseball League action at Muhammad Ali Jinnah Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Karachi pitcher and Kosice, Slovakia, native Aleksander Eckhard. Eckhard yielded 3 runs over 6.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 1. His record improves to 17-7. Adrian Dean, credited with the save, is now 20 for 26 in save opportunities.

Montae Ricco had a big 2-run double for the Falcons in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Karachi trailing 3-2 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a cutter from 29-year old left-handed pitcher Jack Darroch and swatted a double to left. It was his 33rd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Falcons ahead, 4-3.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Eckhard.

The Falcons lead the Intercontinental Baseball League Asian Division by 3 games.
