The Buffalo Bellflowers saddled the Tiverton Colonels with a loss at Wegman's Field. The final score was 8-6. Marcos Cortez was 2 for 3, including 1 single and 1 home run. The Buffalo center fielder scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Picking up the save was Bobby Simpson. He's now 13 for 17 in save chances. The Bellflowers lead the Northern Conference East Division by 5½ games.

Cortez had a key at-bat for Buffalo in the bottom of the first. With the bases loaded, he hit a grand slam home run. It was his 11th home run of the season and gave Buffalo an early 4-0 lead.

"We're feeling good in this clubhouse right now after that one," Cortez told the Buffalo Chronicle.
