Machuca Shines in 15-4 Buffalo Win
Good production from catcher Nick Machuca helped the Buffalo Bellflowers topple the Lincoln Princes, 15-4. Machuca was 3-5 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Bellflowers. Sergio Gonzales got credit for the win, improving to 2-0. He allowed no runs on 3 hits in 5 innings. Now 10-3, the 2025 Bellflowers have been phenomenal so far.

With Buffalo leading 5-0 in the top of the third, Machuca batted against Lincoln pitcher Alex Velasquez. Machuca hit a splitter to right for a grand slam home run. His 2nd home run of the season put the Bellflowers on top, 9-0.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Machuca said. "We did a good job of that today."
