Bellflowers Bridle Bats, 3-1
The Buffalo Bellflowers downed the Whitby Bats, 3-1, at Wegman's Field. Stellar pitching by David Hernandez had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who is tied for 2nd in the NC with a 1.25 ERA, handcuffed his opponent all game. The winner was Hernandez. He threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball. The loser was Isaiah Singletary. Steve Ray recorded the save, his 2nd.

Alex Melo, who is tied for 5th in the NC in RBI with 36, took Whitby hurler Isaiah Singletary deep in the bottom of the fifth. His 3-run home run put the Bellflowers on top, 3-1. In all, Melo had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

Melo called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."

With the win, Buffalo raised its record to 28-14.
