Arizona Loss Tarnishes Potgeter Performance
The Kyiv Cossacks withstood an impressive performance by Arizona left fielder Ben Potgeter to defeat the Desert Storm, 8-7, at Desert Storm Stadium. Potgeter went 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and 2 singles. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. Zachery DeShields picked up the win with 6 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 8 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 7. On the season, he is now 10-8. The Kyiv winning streak has reached 3 games.

Kyiv first baseman Kelvin William produced at a critical juncture. It happened in the top of the eighth with Greg McDowell on the mound and Kyiv leading 7-4. William hit a sacrifice fly.

"We ground out the win," said William. "That's all that matters."
