Big Day for Ward in 12-9 Princes Win
The Lincoln Princes beat the Buffalo Bellflowers in a game featuring much hitting but not much pitching. The final score was 12-9, Princes. One of the hitting stars was shortstop Dusty Ward. Ward, the 9th overall pick in the 2021 draft, went 3-4 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4. Lincoln is now 52-60, while Buffalo is 69-43.

With Lincoln leading 3-2 in the top of the fourth, Ward batted against Buffalo pitcher Keith Carter. Ward hit a fastball to right-center for a 3-run home run. His 11th home run of the season put the Princes on top, 6-2.

"In baseball, you have your ups and downs," said Buffalo manager Andy Perez. "You just try to stay level-headed the whole time."
