Desert Storm Paste Cossacks, 11-0
The Arizona Desert Storm defeated the Kyiv Cossacks, 11-0, in part because of catcher Luke Binkley. Binkley went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 4 for the Desert Storm. Won-hyung Kim, who is tied for 8th in the FL with a 2.75 ERA, was the winner. He's now 3-1. The loser was Jimmy Gold. The win brings the Desert Storm to 17-11, a promising start as the team looks to return to the playoffs.

Early in the game, Binkley had a 2-run home run for Arizona. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Desert Storm on top, 2-0.

Kyiv manager Boris Lahutin called the blowout loss "not what we wanted."
