Shafer Helps Moncton Cruise to 12-3 Win
Mounties left fielder Danny Shafer left his imprint on his team's 12-3 win over the Buffalo Bellflowers. Shafer was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 and driving in 4 for Moncton in the contest. Ben Cuellar notched the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2.1 innings. His record now sits at 4-0. Moncton is sailing along at 87-8.

Moncton used the clutch hitting of Ricky Cortes to capture the win. The catcher drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Mounties the lead, 4-3. For the game, Cortes had 2 singles and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"We hit the ball hard," said Moncton manager Johnny Hoffman. "Line drive after line drive."
