Legh Hits 2 home runs in Cosmos Win
2032 is shaping up to be a forgettable year for the St. Paul Saints.

Led by Morgan Legh, the Stratford Cosmos downed the St. Paul Saints, 10-5. Legh hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Cosmos. With the win, Stratford upped its record to 74-51.

Stratford used the bat of Ray Bloemheuvel to get the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Cosmos ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," Legh said in postgame remarks. "Soon enough, the finish line will be in sight."
