Cosmos Win at Death Valley, 7-1
The Stratford Cosmos beat the Death Valley Buzzards, 7-1, at Hell's Gate. Starting pitcher Archie Esparza was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Stratford now has a 4-game win streak.

Stratford relied on the hitting of Tony Torres to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Cosmos on top, 2-0. For the game, Torres had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Good baseball players make you a smarter manager," said Stratford manager George Brandt.
