Cookson 5-for-5 Against Crows
At Ashland Yards, William Cookson of the Minneapolis Sawyers put on a hitting clinic. He banged out 5 hits in 5 at-bats and mauled the Chicago Crows pitching staff, but Minneapolis still came up short on the scoreboard.

The Sawyers went home with the 8-5 loss, in spite of a standout 5-hit performance from their first baseman.

"Hey, it's great to get that many hits in a game, but it would have been nice to win the game, too," Cookson said in the postgame interview.

William Cookson singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

In 87 games Cookson is hitting .270 this season with 95 hits, 1 home run, 47 RBIs, 20 walks, .324 OBP and has scored 45 runs.
