NOTES

Buffalo took the lead, lost it, took the lead again, and lost it again. The Bisons used three home runs to score their four runs. Rudy Martin Jr homered twice to drive in three runs. Davis Schneider hit a solo shot. Martin's homers were numbers 4 and 5, Schneider's was number eight. Among the newish faces, Anthony Santander was 0-4, RJ Schreck was 0-3 and new guy Shawn Ross was 0-3, all strikeouts.

Lazaro Estrada got the start and threw three shutout innings. As soon as Pat Gallagher came on in relief he gave up a two run home run. After Buffalo took a 4-3 lead new pitcher Jose Rodriguez came on and promptly gave up two runs.

The NH game was rained out and will not be played as both teams have nothing to play for.

Vancouver scored first in their second playoff game. In the second inning a walk and two singles loaded the bases before a sac fly made it 1-0. Eugene got that back and one more in the fourth with a two run home run off Troy Guthrie. Guthrie went five innings and struck out seven.

The C's tied the game in the fifth, Jaxson West doubled and Maddox Latta singled. Dameury Pena singled to start the sixth. David Calabrese followed with a double to put runners on second and third. A wild pitch scored a run and a Ryan Sprock single made it a 4-2 game.

Brandon Barriera pitched a 1-2-3 sixth but walked a pair to start the seventh. A single loaded the bases and Reece Wissinger came on to replace Barriera. A sac fly and an infield single tied the game. After no more runs in regulation the game went to extra innings. Carson Myers navigated the tenth leaving the runner on second. Calabrese led off the bottom of the tenth with a fly ball to centre field that allowed the runner, Dariel Ramon, to get to third. Gable Mitchell followed with another fly ball to right to score Ramon and win the game.

The C's had nine hits, Calabrese had three, Pena two.
