The Stratford Cosmos faced a tough opponent in Kiawah Island pitcher Raúl Mateo, but did just enough to pull out the victory at The MuckPit by a final score of 5-3. Mateo went 6 innings and allowed 3 runs. Simon Murchison snagged the win in relief. In 2.1 innings, the right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit. He's now 6-1 on the season. Héctor Montoya was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 3 of 4 save opportunities.

Stratford relied on the hitting of Jaime Castillo to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Cosmos on top, 3-0. For the game, Castillo had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Castillo told reporters after the game.

The losing streak for Kiawah Island has now reached 6 games.
