NOTES
Four runs on six hits for Buffalo. Max McDowell and Josh Kasevich had the RBI's. Alan Roden's double was the only extra base hit. Rafael Lantigua had two hits.
Paxton Schultz started but it was really a bullpen game with five pitchers used. Hagen Danner pitched the ninth for the save. Could he get a look before the end of the season?
Devereaux Harrison was charged with three runs, two earned in his start for NH. But it was Nick Fraze who was taken deep in the seventh who took the loss.
Ryan McCarty hit his eighth home run. Robert Brooks had three hits, Rainer Nunez two. RJ Schreck who had admired his home run on Friday was plunked to lead off the game on Saturday. He also walked but struck out three rimes.
The Vancouver game was tied at 1-1 after nine innings. Jay Harry had homered for Vancouver's run. Grant Rogers went seven innings, he allowed one run on five hits with six K's.
Everett scored in the top of the tenth. Jace Bohrofen singled in the tying run in the bottom of the inning. Everett failed to score in the top of the eleventh, then Jackson Hornung doubled in the bottom of the eleventh for the walk off win. Hornung was the only C's hitter with two hits.
Adam Macko threw two innings on a rehab start for Dunedin. Trent Palmer also pitched on rehab in the game. But it was the bullpen who coughed up the lead and then lost the game in extra innings.
The Jays had just five hits. Edward Duran had the only extra base hit and drove in three runs.
