Buffalo Win Thriller, 3-1
Sam Gleghorn was a major contributor to the 3-1 Buffalo win over Portland. The Buffalo designated hitter threw 8.1 innings allowing 1 run. Noah Powell claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2.2 innings. His record stands at 6-3. The Beavers, now 35-42, have lost 4 in a row.

The game-ending blow was delivered by Jordan Acosta in the bottom of the 11th. That's when he hit a 2-run home run off 28-year old right-handed pitcher Rodolfo Merlos to win it for Buffalo and cause the home crowd to erupt in celebration.

During his postgame press conference, Buffalo manager Jim Punk42ae told reporters that he expected a tight game from the get-go. "This had the potential to go down to the wire, and it certainly didn't disappoint," he said, later quipping, "it might've been a little less nerve-racking if I had been watching the game from my couch!"
