Bellflowers Drop 9-6 Decision
Buffalo catcher Josh Hornsby had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Hornsby went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once, even as Franklin beat the Bellflowers, 9-6. The third-place Cubs now have a record of 77-59.

Alejandro Perez had a key at-bat with one out in the bottom of the sixth for Franklin. With the bases loaded and the Cubs leading 5-4, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Kerry McElree.
