Bellflowers Squeeze By Terra Linda, 3-2
The bats were silent much of the day at Ballpark of Plantersville. But 20-year old third baseman Alex Melo produced just enough offense to carry the Bellflowers past the Terra Linda Chargers, 3-2. Melo went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times. Bobby Simpson nailed down the save. The Bellflowers sit in first place in the Northern Conference East Division with a record of 50-22.

Buffalo used the timely hitting of Danny Solis to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bellflowers on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Melo said his team "played with focus."
