Black Rhinos Drop 3-1 Decision to Falcons
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Karachi Falcons and Nairobi Black Rhinos.

The Karachi Falcons earned a close win over the Nairobi Black Rhinos, thanks in part to Scott van Veen. The Karachi right-hander, who is tied for 10th in the IBL with a 4.3 K/9 rate, played a key role in the 3-1 victory. The Intercontinental Baseball League Asian Division-leading Falcons have a record of 90-62.

The Falcons got a big at-bat from center fielder Montae Ricco. For the game, Ricco went 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the third, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 14th home run of the season gave Karachi a 2-0 lead.

Karachi manager Slu Baseball said his team played a "no nonsense" game.
