The Buffalo Bisons downed the Asheville Moonshiners, 15-6, at Aspinwall Grounds. The Bisons were led by Kevin Young, who captured player of the game honors. He was 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 5. Mac Suzuki, the winner, improved to 2-1. He held the Moonshiners to 3 earned runs on 5 hits over 6.1 innings, while striking out 5 and walking 4. Buffalo, now 13-4, has played well in the early going.

Young put Buffalo up, 14-3, when he hit a grand slam home run off Julio Santana in the bottom of the fifth. His 7th home run of the season helped the Bisons capture the win.

"If it's down the middle," said Young, "you might as well hit it."
