Slumping Cossacks Lose 6th Straight
Takoyaki Park played host to some dramatic action.

Behind a solid performance from second baseman Juan Redondo, the Osaka Takoyaki defeated the Kyiv Cossacks, 6-5. Redondo belted 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Takoyaki. The winner in relief was Mark Foglesong. He is now 8-6. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings.

The game-ending blow was delivered by Jim Boucher in the bottom of the ninth. That's when he hit a solo home run off 27-year old right-handed pitcher Cheong-won Hwang to win it for Osaka and cause the home crowd to erupt in celebration.

"We're in a funk and we need to shake ourselves out of it," said Kyiv manager Boris Lahutin.

The third-place Takoyaki have won 7 consecutive games.
