Cossey Bashes 5 Base Hits
Buffalo catcher Nick Cossey could do no wrong in his team's 21-14 win over the Rockers, as he collected 5 hits.

"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Rockers skipper Matt Seipp said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."

Cossey agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.

"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."

Nick Cossey hit a three-run home run off Bernado Marcelo in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Michael Brumfield in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Michael Brumfield in the 4th, flied out in the 6th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Brian Mabry in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

This season, Cossey has posted a batting average of .298 with 31 hits in 104 at-bats, 14 home runs and 31 RBIs. He has also scored 21 runs, walked 6 times and compiled a .345 OBP.
