The right-hander was followed by Mike Adams, who pitched two shutout innings – recording two strikeouts and issuing one walk.

Buffalo’s Thomas Hatch allowed just the one run over five innings. The Bisons proceeded to use four pitchers in relief of Hatch, and each pitched a scoreless inning.

The Bisons scored two runs against Cam Bedrosian (1-1) in the bottom of the seventh inning to take a 2-1 lead. Logan Warmoth hit an RBI double to score Cullen Large and Nash Knight hit an RBI double to score Warmoth.
