Cannonballers Top Dust Devils, 7-6
The Cottage City Cannonballers beat the Kansas City Dust Devils, 7-6, in part because of designated hitter Jim Unknown. He went 2 for 5 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The Cannonballers raised their record to 27-56.

Cottage City used a timely hit from Jeremy Smith to get the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cannonballers ahead, 6-5. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

In comments to the Cottage City Gazette, Unknown insisted that he's not as disinterested as it often appears. "Haters will hate," he added.
