Cofer Casts Spell Over Providence, as Red Caps Win
Reading Red Caps pitcher Ben Cofer did his job to perfection, blanking the Providence Patriots at Railmen's Yard. He scattered 2 hits while striking out 3 in the 2-0 shutout.

"All I did was not allow any runs," he joked after the game. "I mean, technically, that's what they pay me to do, right?"

This year, Cofer has gone 15-15 with an ERA of 4.38 and has 147 strikeouts in 279.1 innings.
