Melo Blasts Chargers, Bellflowers Take Game 5, 7-6
Already down in the League Championship Series, the Buffalo Bellflowers put on their best show, beating the Terra Linda Chargers by a final score of 7-6. Alex Melo was special. He was 3-6 with 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. Buffalo now trails Terra Linda 3-2 in the best-of-7 affair.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 12th inning, when Buffalo designated hitter Angel Solorzano, facing Luis Cortez, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Bellflowers the 7-6 win.

"It's great when the crowd is energized," Solorzano said.

Game 6 is scheduled for Saturday at Ballpark of Plantersville in San Rafael.
