Motors Topple Talons, 11-4
The Coventry Motors downed the Sheffield Talons, 11-4, at Talons Park. The Motors were led by Brian Sapsford. He went 3 for 5 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 4 runs. Coventry now sits in first place in the All-Team Circuit English Baseball Championship at 65-28.

Coventry used the bat of Andrew Baker to capture the win. The shortstop jacked a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Motors ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 6 at-bats, but it was a dandy.

"Scoring runs is scoring runs," said Coventry skipper Mark Reid. "It's important to have different ways to do it."
