The Borrego Springs Rams and Buffalo Bellflowers fought to the finish at Wegman's Field.

Marcos Cortez did all he could to help his team prevail. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Buffalo Bellflowers from losing the game, 8-6, to the Borrego Springs Rams in 11 innings at Wegman's Field. Cortez was 2 for 6 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. The Rams have an impressive 29-17 record.

Matt Shea went 2 for 4 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Borrego Springs. The 20-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the 11th. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring walk off Antonio Corona. It was his 25th walk of the season.

"I'll play 10 innings, I'll play 20," said Rams manager Michael Wright. "Whatever it takes to win the ballgame."
