Cossacks Overwhelm Wayfinders, 15-5
Kyiv second baseman Noah Abitia contributed significantly to his team's 15-5 win over the Waikiki Wayfinders. Abitia, who finished 2nd in the FL in doubles with 53 in 2046, went 4 for 6 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Cossacks. With the win, Kyiv goes to 67-57, while the Wayfinders fall to 48-76.

The Wayfinders had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Cossacks going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old first baseman William Melnick came to the plate. Melnick hit a 2-run home run on a 1-2 splitter from Waikiki hurler Richard Arocha. It was Melnick's 15th home run of the year.

"I hate to be the fly in the ointment," said Melnick, "but we could've played better."
