Bitzer Leads Cossacks to Win
The Kyiv Cossacks beat the Lansing Red Storm, 9-8, in part because of center fielder Mike Bitzer. He was 4-4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. The Cossacks have now reeled off 6 straight wins.

Rod Garcia, who finished 5th in the FL in doubles with 53 last year, chipped in a run-scoring single for Kyiv in the top of the ninth. For the game, the left fielder had 2 hits in 6 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 4 RBI.

"This game had a little bit of everything," said Bitzer.
