Buffalo Wins, 3-2, Over Rams
The Buffalo Bellflowers picked up a win at Wegman's Field, defeating the Borrego Springs Rams, 3-2, in 10 innings. Starting pitcher Keith Carter was an essential part of his team's success. The Bellflowers sit in second place in the Northern Conference East Division with a record of 63-48.

Buffalo got a game-changing hit from Alex Melo. The first baseman blasted a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a winner.

"We came out on the wrong end of this one," said Borrego Springs skipper Michael Wright.
