Host Choho Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2
Nigeria Nkali second baseman Momsilo Stevic was the difference-maker at New Koshien Stadium, as he led his club to victory in a pivotal Game 5 of the Wildcard Series. The Nkali took the 8-6 win over the Tokyo Choho to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

The game was all tied up in the top of the eighth, until Stevic delivered big-time for Nigeria, stroking a dramatic 2-run home run off Abhinita Sreeram. The game-changing hit put the Nkali on top, 8-6.

"Postseason wins taste oh so sweet," said Stevic after the game.

Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday at Lagos Stadium in Lagos.
