Cosmos Need Extra Frames to Get Past Red Birds
In a low-scoring tilt between the Stratford Cosmos and the Toronto Red Birds, Archie Esparza was the difference-maker. The Stratford left-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. With their winning streak at 5, the Cosmos have raced to a strong start this season.

Stratford took a 3-2 lead on Bob Letson's 5th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Letson hit in the top of the tenth, left Toronto pitcher Ramón Bravo shaking his head.

"Exhilarating win," said Esparza.
