Arizona Dispatched, 10-7, by Kyiv
William Melnick was a vital contributor to the 10-7 Kyiv victory over Arizona. The Cossacks designated hitter went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The Federation League Knuckleheads Division-leading Cossacks have a record of 61-40.

Kyiv got a big at-bat from El Vigía, Venezuela native Alberto Salinas, who in the top of the third hit a 3-run home run. It was his 10th home run of the season and put the Cossacks ahead, 9-0.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Melnick.
