Closing In: Buffalo Nears CS With Dramatic Game 4 Win
When the games really matter, the Buffalo Bellflowers put on their best show, beating the Moncton Mounties by a final score of 10-9. Rob Lopez was 3 for 3 with 3 singles and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Buffalo now leads Moncton 3-1 in the best-of-7 affair.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Lopez hit a slider from Joel Cogswell for a run-scoring single. The Bellflowers, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Lopez, "but a win in the playoffs is nothing to sniff at."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Wegman's Field in Buffalo.
