Buffalo Beaten, 7-6, by Borrego Springs
The inspired effort of Buffalo shortstop Ben Hurt was not enough to prevent a loss, 7-6, to the Borrego Springs Rams. Hurt went 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and 4 walks. The victory makes Borrego Springs 10-4, as the team seeks a return to the playoffs in 2024.

The decisive blow was delivered in the bottom of the 13th when Josh Lewandowski hit a run-scoring double off 19-year old right-handed pitcher Jesus Beltre to win the game for Borrego Springs. The home crowd went wild.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Borrego Springs manager Michael Wright.
