Scimitars Edge Oryx, 4-3
The Istanbul Scimitars picked up a win at Riyadh Ballpark, knocking off the Riyadh Oryx, 4-3. Starting pitcher Rakin bin Naji played a key role in the triumph. Henri Dufour locked down his 21st save. The win puts Istanbul at 51-43 this season.

Istanbul used a timely hit from Leonard Ashotian to get the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Scimitars ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"That was a really good outing by Rakin," said Istanbul manager Akram Yusuf.
