NOTES
Andrew Bash threw two perfect innings to start the game. Paxton Schultz followed and Scranton scored three off him over 3.2 innings. Bash and Schultz are two of the key pitchers for Buffalo. They can start, relieve or close. Bash did have some time on the IL this season but he threw 78.2 innings with an ERA of 2.97. Schultz has thrown 92 innings with an ERA of 4.11. You need guys like Bash, Schultz and Luis Quinones on your team to be able to handle any situation. On Friday Bash was named the Bisons most valuable pitcher.
Eric Pardinho got four outs in the game. Pardinho had a rough introduction to AAA. He gave up ten runs over his first six appearances. He settled down but then had another rough spell with twelve runs allowed over five appearances in late July and early August. But he has not allowed a run over his last ten appearances. He is finishing the season on a positive.
The Bisons only run came in the third inning, Riley Tirotta and Braden Barry both doubled. Barry also singled in the fifth inning, he was the only hitter with two hits. Former Blue Jay Thomas Pannone held the Bisons to just one run over 6.1 innings.
