Bellflowers Get Dramatic 11-8 Triumph
The Buffalo Bellflowers topped the Tiverton Colonels, 11-8, the lion's share of the credit going to left fielder Nick Owens. On the day, Owens went 3 for 6 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 for the Bellflowers. Bobby Simpson, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-1. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. The Bellflowers, now 12-4, have hit the ground running this season.

The decisive blow was delivered by Victor Jara in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a 3-run home run off 19-year old left-handed pitcher Jim Unknown to win the game for Buffalo. The home crowd went nuts.

"We couldn't have scripted it any better," Owens said in his postgame press conference.
