Bellflowers Score Late to Beat Rockers, 5-4
Buffalo beat Plymouth at Madison Grounds, eking out a 5-4 win in 10 innings. The win was due in large part to third baseman Ben Hurt. He went 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Paul Ganley picked up the win in relief for Buffalo, while Jim Unknown took the loss. Pedro Tello, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 9th save.

Buffalo needed the clutch hitting of Chris Cooper to seal the deal. The shortstop swatted a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Bellflowers on top, 5-4. For the game, Cooper had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Our team showed some resilience," said Hurt.

The win boosted Buffalo to 22-12.
