The Shelbyville Reds got a superb performance from pitcher Mike Jacobson. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Stratford. The Cosmos won the game, 5-4. Jacobson threw 6.0 innings of 3-hit ball. Jeff Muir, now 2-1, was credited with the win. He allowed 1 run on 3 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 0. At 69-36, the Cosmos are currently second in the Nied League Mendoza Division.

John Hester drove in 2 runs for Stratford. The 28-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Luis Rivera. It was his 20th RBI of the season.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Stratford manager George Brandt.
