The Whitby Bats had no problem beating the Buffalo Bellflowers, 11-1, at Eláguila Stadia. Randy Ruhl led the onslaught. He hit 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice for Whitby. Santiago Rivera picked up the win, improving his season record to 6-4. He struck out 5 in 5.2 innings. Mike Allen was credited with the save, his 3rd in 3 tries.

Jayden McClendon was 1 for 3 with a walk for Whitby. The 18-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring single off Eric Osborne. It was his 18th hit of the season.

Bats manager Mike Boyd had nothing but praise for his players after an impressive win, calling the result one of the team's best performances of the season. "Everything just came together on our end," he said. "I didn't need to do too much."

The win lifted the Whitby record to 61-32.
