Meteors Tag Pharaohs with 5-1 Loss
Erik Sverdrup, who is tied for 7th in the IBL in quality starts with 7, had a strong outing for the Melbourne Meteors against the Cairo Pharaohs at Pharaohs Ballpark. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 5-1 win. Picking up the save was fireballing 6' 8" right-hander Max Schmalzl. Melbourne has 3 straight wins, Cairo 3 straight losses.

Melbourne used the hitting of Juan Escobedo to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Meteors on top, 5-1. For the game, Escobedo had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Said losing manager J Stell: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
