Nick Cossey helped his team muscle past the Whitby Bats, 5-2. In the game, the Buffalo catcher hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. David Hernandez, the winner, improved to 10-4. He held the Bats to 2 runs on 6 hits over 8 innings, while striking out 1 and walking 0. Earning the save was Pedro Tello. He's now cashed in 19 of 22 save opportunities.

Chris Cooper provided a timely hit. The Buffalo shortstop delivered a run-scoring triple in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bellflowers on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Bellflowers," said Cooper.

The victory gives Buffalo a record of 43-33.
