Meteors Rally to Eke Out Win
The Melbourne Meteors picked up a win at Meteor Crater, downing the Nairobi Black Rhinos, 8-7, in 11 innings. On the mound for Melbourne was left-hander Quinton Ayala, who played a pivotal role in the win. The win has Melbourne at 4-6.

The decisive blow was delivered by Wattas Mwenda in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a run-scoring double off 33-year old right-handed pitcher Wei-fang Cheng to win the game for Melbourne. The home crowd went nuts.

"Quinton made his pitches," said Melbourne manager Bob Meteors.
