Bellflowers Lose to Princes in Walk-Off
The Lincoln Princes beat the Buffalo Bellflowers, 8-6, at Lincoln Grounds. Lincoln shortstop Brett Meade had an outstanding performance. He was 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Lincoln reliever Jim Unknown picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. Miguel Gastelum was tagged with the loss. The setback makes Buffalo 34-78.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Lincoln. That's when 18-year old left fielder Bryce Graham hit a grand slam home run off Miguel Gastelum to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"That was a lot of fun, watching both teams compete," said Princes manager Jorge Vasquez.
