The Bellflowers kept their hot streak going.

Buffalo beat Borrego Springs at Club Circle Park, escaping with a 5-4 win. The win in large part was due to first baseman Alex Melo. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Early on, the Bellflowers, at 10-2, have piled up the wins.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Jim Unknown? The 20-year old catcher Unknown stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put Buffalo up, 5-4. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"The wins are coming in bunches right now," said Unknown. "We'll enjoy it while it lasts."
