Kosmonauts Upend Gladiators, 6-3
The Moscow Kosmonauts beat the Rome Gladiators by a score of 6-3. Moscow first baseman Roble Kafara deserved the lion's share of the credit. Kafara was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 for the Kosmonauts. Moscow leads the Western League Eastern Europe by 2 games.

Benjamin Blanc had a big 2-run home run for the Kosmonauts in the top of the fourth inning. With Moscow leading 2-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a changeup from Antonio Salviati, who is tied for 9th in the WL with a 1.12 WHIP, and punished it. The result was his 9th home run of the season, which put the Kosmonauts on top, 4-0.

"Nice win for us," said Kafara. "Now we'll go after the next one."
