Late Rally by Bellflowers Locks Up 5-2 Win
Buffalo pitcher Jeremy Reich did his part in helping his team defeat the Whitby Bats, 5-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. Buffalo pitcher Pedro Tello got the win, upping his record to 3-0. Taro Matsumoto got the loss. The Bellflowers now own a record of 29-15.

Buffalo got a knockout punch from Antonio Encinas. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

Reich expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
