Cosmos Rough Up Red Birds, 11-0
Good production from third baseman Rusty Simmons helped the Stratford Cosmos topple the Toronto Red Birds, 11-0. Simmons went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and a double, while scoring 3 and driving in 4 for the Cosmos. Bernard Jacobs earned the win to go to 12-7. He allowed no runs on 2 hits, with no walks and 8 strikeouts in 8 innings of work. The Cosmos have an impressive 72-46 record.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bob Hopper? The Stratford catcher had a 2-run single in the top of the second inning to put the Cosmos on top, 2-0. For the game, Hopper had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Simmons. "And not try to do too much."
