Cossacks Win Streak Reaches 6
Thanks in large part to designated hitter Ryan Ralph, the Kyiv Cossacks beat the Memphis Chicks, 7-5. Ralph was 3 for 4 with 2 doubles. Zachery DeShields got the win, improving to 13-10. He pitched 6.1 innings, giving up 8 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 2. Evan King closed it out for Kyiv, earning his 33rd save.

Kyiv used a well-timed hit by Kelvin William to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Cossacks ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Good, gritty kind of win," said Cossacks manager Boris Lahutin.

Kyiv is first in the Federation League Knuckleheads Division with a record of 87-64.
