Scimitars Fall Short, 2-1, at South Africa
|
In a low-scoring clash between South Africa and Istanbul, pitcher Aseffa Sellimi was a difference-maker. The right-hander earned accolades in the 2-1 win. Sellimi, the winner, moves to 8-3. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 1 walk. The last-place Scimitars have lost 4 consecutive games.
A critical at-bat came in the bottom of the seventh inning when the Black Sox sent 22-year-old right fielder Husien Birgen to the plate with a runner on 3rd. The youngster shook off the pressure and hit a sacrifice fly, to put South Africa on top, 2-0.
"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Birgen told the South Africa News.
