Cannonballers Double Up Rockets, 6-3
The Cottage City Cannonballers saddled the Huntsville Rockets with a loss at Cannonballers Ballpark. The final score was 6-3. Steve Kettle was 2 for 4, including 1 single and 1 home run. The Cottage City left fielder scored 1 run and drove in 2. The triumph makes Cottage City 21-54.

Had Kettle not come through in the bottom of the seventh, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Kettle hit a run-scoring single. The Cannonballers took the lead, 4-3, and never looked back.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Kettle.
