Juremi Profar hit a two-run double to lead a three-run attack in the fourth inning, and Isaac Milburn had a perfect three-inning relief appearance with three strikeouts to keep Karachi’s playoffs hopes alive after 5-3 win over Mid East. 

Profar finished the game batting 1-for-4 with three RBIs. Jake Pérez (2-for-4), Isaac Núñez (1-for-3, 1 R, 1 RBI) and Max Jung-Goldberg (1-for-2, 1 RBI), highlighted Karachi's offense.

Isaac Milburn earned the victory after 3.0 perfect innings pitched, including his second effective Fire Ball of the season. He retired all seven batters he faced with just 37 pitches (22 strikes). 

Kolby Kiser (4.0 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 SO), Alex Dubrod (1.0, 0 ER), and Enrique Burgos (1.0 IP, 2 H, 1 SO) completed the pitching line for Karachi. 

With the win, Karachi (2-4) broke a streak of four consecutive losses and still maintains mathematical hopes of reaching the United Series .
