Bellflowers Score Late to Win, 5-3
Behind the hitting of Alex Melo, the Buffalo Bellflowers stopped the Tiverton Colonels, 5-3. Melo went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs for the Bellflowers. Pedro Tello was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 24 of 27 save opportunities. The Buffalo win streak is now 3 games.

Buffalo took a 5-3 lead on Derek Vance's 9th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Vance hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Tiverton pitcher Jon Cordova visibly frustrated.

"It never gets old," said Vance. "Winning, that is."
