A 4-RBI performance from the 23-year old first baseman Rafael Leon Jr. helped the Nigeria Nkali beat the Cairo Pharaohs, 8-6. Masaoki Hayashi collected his 2nd save. Nigeria now has a record of 86-72 with the win.

Leon Jr. contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Nigeria in the top of the fifth. With his team trailing 5-3, Leon Jr. took a changeup from Leo Martinez and stroked the home run to left. His 17th home run of the season allowed the Nkali to leap in front, 7-5.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Leon Jr. told the Nigeria Observer.
