The minor league season ended Sunday with a nice 11-6 win for Buffalo. The Bisons hitters had ten hits and continued a trend of good hitting to end the season. The pitching however struggled over the finish line.
Norfolk 6 Buffalo 11
Three Stars
Third Star - Addison Barger
Second Star - Max McDowell
First Star - Steward Berroa
NOTES
Steward Berroa went 3-3 with a walk. He drove in two runs with a double. Max McDowell was 2-3 with a walk and he drove in three runs. Two runs scored on balks. Addison Barger hit two very high fly balls for sac flies. Otto Lopez had two hits to finish his season. His future spot on the 40 man roster must be in question.
Five pitchers did the job for Buffalo. The Bisons made three errors so four of the Norfolk runs were unearned. Yosver Zulueta went two innings. He has pitched well over the last two months to save his 40 man spot. In August and September he had a WHIP under one and 22 K's in 17.1 innings.
This ends the season. The fall league starts in just over a week.
