The Buffalo Bisons and Bluff City Beasties provided some drama at Aspinwall Grounds.

Bluff City beat Buffalo at Aspinwall Grounds, escaping with a 7-6 win. The win in large part was due to second baseman Jeff Manto, who earned player of the game honors. He hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Mike J Grace earned the win to go to 2-0. He allowed 2 earned runs on 8 hits, with no walks and 2 strikeouts. Brad Clontz earned the save, his 5th.

Manto provided the big break for the Beasties in the top of the first inning. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 3-run home run, helping Bluff City to get the win.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Manto told the Bluff City Times.

Losses have been few and far between for the Bisons, who are now 16-6.
