Moncton Beats Buffalo, 8-1
Moncton turned a good effort from starter Chris Dunn into a win over the Buffalo Bellflowers at Mapleton Yards. The Mounties won the game, 8-1. Moncton now has a record of 110-18 with the win.

Cody Kelley had a big 2-run triple for the Mounties in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Moncton leading 3-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a curveball from 19-year old left-handed pitcher Diego Cantu and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 6th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Mounties ahead, 5-1.

"Chris is a tough competitor," said Moncton manager Johnny Hoffman.
