The pitching for Buffalo wasn't so good. Mitch White was bombed again, five runs allowed over 2.1 innings. Yosver Zulueta had been pitching better recently but he gave up three runs in an inning. The lefties, Paul Fry, Jimmy Burnette and Brandon Eisert pitched well in relief to secure the win.
New Hampshire's first game of the doubleheader went to extra innings. Neither team scored in the eighth. New Hampshire got one in the ninth and brought on Hagen Danner for the save. The first batter hit a come backer that Danner threw away. The second batter singled for win. Danner needed five pitches to take the loss.
