Rome Loses, 6-4, in 10
The South Africa Black Sox defeated the Rome Gladiators, 6-4, in 10 innings. Much of the credit belonged to left fielder Rodolfo Saucedo, who went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Black Sox. Tekle-Mariam Shehata came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. His record now stands at 3-3. South Africa has now won 6 straight, while the Gladiators have lost 3 in a row.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Sahlu Kipkoech? The 26-year old first baseman Kipkoech stroked a 2-run double in the top of the tenth inning to put South Africa up, 6-4. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Hitting, winning. It's just contagious," said Kipkoech.
