Nkali Get Clutch Win, 6-5
The Nigeria Nkali defeated the South Africa Black Sox, 6-5, in part because of shortstop Roger Chavez. Chavez went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Nkali. Today's win puts Nigeria at 90-66, while South Africa falls to 83-73.

The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the fifth. With Nigeria trailing 3-2, Chavez hit a fastball from Kaden bin Haroun for a 2-run home run. With one swing, the Nkali had a walk-off win.

"We kept coming at guys," Nigeria manager Dillon Lawson said. "We kept digging."
