Suns Rally Late to Clip Buffalo
The Buffalo Bellflowers got a superb performance from pitcher Nolan Estes, but the Moriarty Suns still won the game, 4-3. Estes threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The winner was Moriarty reliever Jim Unknown, now 1-0. The loser was Joe Petersen. Buffalo's current losing streak has reached 4 games.

Moriarty got a game-changing hit from Steve Valkenburg. The pinch hitter blasted a solo home run in the bottom of the 13th inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a winner.

"Bottom line," said Buffalo skipper Andy Perez, "we didn't play well enough to win."
