Cubs Lose By a Run at Buffalo
In a low-scoring tilt between the Buffalo Bellflowers and the Franklin Cubs, 19-year old left-handed pitcher Daniel Hernandez was the difference-maker. The Buffalo left-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Hernandez, the winner, moves to 4-7. He threw 5.2 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 2 walks. Buffalo is now 72-52, Franklin 57-67.

Mike Hydo had a big solo home run for the Bellflowers in the bottom of the third inning. With Buffalo leading 2-1 and the bases empty, he sized up a slider from 18-year old right-handed pitcher Jason McCoart and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Bellflowers on top, 3-1.

Hydo said his team "played with focus."
