Lopez Helps Bellflowers Defeat Bats, 8-6
Rob Lopez helped his team muscle past the Whitby Bats, 8-6. In the game, the Buffalo third baseman was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Picking up the save was 20-year old right-handed pitcher Bobby Simpson. Buffalo is now 45-20. Whitby is 52-13.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Victor Jara? The Buffalo right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Bellflowers on top, 5-3. For the game, Jara had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Lopez told the Buffalo Chronicle.
