Scimitars Topple Nkali with Late Rally
Istanbul center fielder Duecha Adegoke had a 3-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Nigeria Nkali, 10-3. The first-place Scimitars, at 68-31, lead the Eastern League Middle East by 19½ games.

Istanbul used the timely hitting of Lemah Purbacaraka to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Scimitars on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Purbacaraka.
