Buffalo Loss Tarnishes Fine Game by Philip
Both teams had their chances, but the Moncton Mounties eventually prevailed.

The Buffalo Bellflowers could not turn a fine performance from designated hitter Russ Philip into a win. Instead, the Moncton Mounties prevailed, 6-5. Philip was 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. Javy Herrera, the winning pitcher, improved to 7-1. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 8 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 0.

Moncton took a 6-3 lead on David Raney's 5th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Raney hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Buffalo pitcher Alexis Jaimes visibly frustrated.

"Nice to keep stacking the wins," said Raney.

The Mounties have an impressive 55-29 record.
