Black Rhinos Victorious at Tokyo, 6-4
The Nairobi Black Rhinos picked up a win at Gitche Gumee Stadium, knocking off the Tokyo Fitzies, 6-4. On the mound for Nairobi was left-hander Noah Tustain. He played a key role in the triumph. The winner was Tustain. He threw 7.2 innings of 1-hit ball. The loser was Charlie Copeland. The 4th-place Black Rhinos improved to 28-32.

Mishago Wambugu had a big run-scoring double for the Black Rhinos in the top of the third inning. With Nairobi leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he got a cutter from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Charlie Copeland and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 15th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Black Rhinos ahead, 2-0.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Wambugu told the Nairobi Today.
