Bellflowers Hand Franklin 7-1 Loss
Franklin Park was the site for Northern Conference action featuring the Franklin Cubs and Buffalo Bellflowers.

The Buffalo Bellflowers got a good effort from starter Xiao-yong Ta in defeating the Franklin Cubs at Franklin Park. The final score was 7-1. The winning pitcher was Ta, now 5-2. He tossed 5 innings of 2-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 4.

Buffalo used the timely hitting of Jake Hoffmann to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bellflowers ahead, 3-0. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Hoffmann. "And not try to do too much."

The Northern Conference East Division-leading Bellflowers are 41-16.
