Torres Heroics Not Enough in 8-6 Loss to Vancouver
Tony Torres had a good game, but he could not keep the Stratford Cosmos from falling, 8-6, to the Vancouver Lynx at Lynx Park. The Stratford shortstop was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once in the loss. The Cosmos, now 15-4, have been consistent this season. Consistently bad.

Al Hammond had a big run-scoring triple for the Lynx in the bottom of the first inning. With Vancouver leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a circle change from Raimondo Amberezzio and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 1st triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Lynx ahead, 2-0.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Hammond told the Vancouver News. "It's as simple as that."
