Franklin Decked by Murphy, Bellflowers
Bellflowers left fielder Josh Murphy left his imprint on his team's 9-3 win over the Franklin Cubs. Murphy was 2-2 with 2 home runs and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 3 for Buffalo in the contest. The second-place Bellflowers hiked their record to 73-52.

Alex Melo had a big grand slam home run for the Bellflowers in the bottom of the second inning. With Buffalo leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he sized up a sinker from 22-year old right-handed pitcher Dan Logan and punished it. The result was his 34th home run of the season, which put the Bellflowers on top, 5-0.

"It feels good to get this one," Melo told the Buffalo Daily News.
