Bellflowers Overcome Great Performance by Dankenbring in Win
Franklin first baseman Paul Dankenbring had a good game, even if his team did not. The Cubs dropped a 7-6 decision to Buffalo at Franklin Park. Dankenbring slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Rich Bryan notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. His record now sits at 1-0. Pedro Tello nailed down his 27th save.

Buffalo needed the clutch hitting of Alex Melo to seal the deal. The second baseman swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bellflowers on top, 6-5. For the game, Melo had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Franklin manager Kerry McElree. "The effort was great."

Buffalo has 3 straight wins, Franklin 3 straight losses.
