Bellflowers Stay Hot, Beat Rockers, 5-2
2024 is shaping up to be a forgettable year for the Plymouth Rockers.

Buffalo turned a good performance from starting pitcher Omar Sotelo into a 5-2 triumph over the Plymouth Rockers at Madison Grounds. Bobby Simpson got the save, the 19th for him this season.

Buffalo used the timely hitting of Josh Flowers to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bellflowers on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Omar giving us the start that he did was huge," said Buffalo manager Andy Perez.

The first-place Bellflowers have won 5 in a row.
