McNeely's Grand Slam and Money Ball HR Power Mumbai to Explosive Win Over Arabia

Read Time:1 Minute, 4 Second

Caleb McNeely hit a grand slam in the sixth inning and a home run with the Money Ball in play and a runner on base in the 8th for eight RBIs to seal Mumbai Cobras’ victory 13-6 over the Arabia Wolves.

Lou Helmig put four more runs on the scoreboard after hitting a home run with a runner on base and the Money Ball in play in the third inning against starting pitcher Gillian Wernet. Both the German slugger and McNeely drove in 12 of the 13 runs for the Indian franchise.

For the first time, the Money Ball and the Fire Ball were called during the same at-bat. With Jacob Teter in the batter’s box and Karan Patel on the mound, the first overall pick in the Baseball United Draft showed his mettle to strike out Teter with one out and bases loaded, to extinguish Arabia’s offensive aspirations.

The victory went to Akshay More in relief after 3.2 IP, with a solid performance that included only one earned run (solo HR) and three strikeouts.

Other highlights:

The loss went to Blake Purnell, who allowed three hits, five earned runs, and two hit batters.
On offense for Arabia, Taylor Darden went 2-for-4, with two runs scored and two RBIs.
