3-2 Loss Deepens D.C. Funk
The Stratford Cosmos picked up a win at The Lockar Room, knocking off the D.C. Teddys, 3-2. Starting pitcher Archie Esparza was a big reason why. Stratford reliever Simon Murchison picked up the win, raising his record to 7-3. Steve McLeod was tagged with the loss. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Cosmos.

Had Bob Hopper not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Hopper hit a 2-run single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Cosmos.

"It feels good to get this one," Hopper told the Stratford Herald.
