Bellflowers Get Hard-Earned Win
Franklin left fielder Josh Bacon was sensational. He went 3 for 6 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Buffalo beat the Cubs, 9-8, in 10 innings. Buffalo goes to 11-26, Franklin to 21-16.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the tenth for Buffalo. That's when 19-year old third baseman Jim Unknown hit a solo home run off Jim Unknown to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

In postgame remarks, Unknown said: "I'm proud of our guys, of their fight."
