Nkali Roll Over Stars, 10-3
The Nigeria Nkali overcame a pretty good performance by Tehran shortstop Kalea Tunui, beating the Stars, 10-3, at Tehran Stadium. Tunui went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The third-place Stars dropped to 79-69.

Nigeria used the timely hitting of Rafael Leon Jr. to capture the win. The first baseman socked a grand slam home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Nkali ahead, 7-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We hit the ball hard," said Nigeria manager Dillon Lawson. "Line drive after line drive."
