Kagawa Blasts Bellflowers, Mounties Take Game 6, 10-7
The Moncton Mounties and the Buffalo Bellflowers will take the Division Series to a decisive 7th game. In a must-win situation, the Mounties beat the Bellflowers, 10-7, at Mapleton Yards to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Moncton shortstop Outa Kagawa belted 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice.

Kagawa had a consequential at-bat in the bottom of the second for the Mounties. Coming up with a runner on 1st and Moncton trailing 1-0, he hit a 2-run home run.

"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," Moncton manager Johnny Hoffman told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Mapleton Yards in Moncton.
