Buffalo Beats Moncton, 7-5
Moncton got a terrific game from catcher Kevin Pizzuti. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Buffalo, 7-5. Pizzuti went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Buffalo pitcher Dan Gray got the win. He's now 4-1. Diego Garcia was tagged with the loss. The Bellflowers now have a record of 82-36 with the win over Moncton.

The Mounties had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Bellflowers going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 21-year old catcher Raul Tavarez came to the plate. Tavarez hit a solo home run on a 2-0 fastball from Moncton hurler Diego Garcia. It was Tavarez's 13th home run of the year.

"This was a nice win for us," said Tavarez. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."
