Bisons Need Extra Frames to Get Past Whalers
Buffalo shortstop David Howard had 3 ribbies while helping his team defeat the Hartford Whalers, 8-6. The winner was Buffalo reliever Tim Fortugno, now 2-2. The loser was Cory Lidle. The Bisons bumped their record to 56-36 with this latest triumph.

Howard had a game-changing double in the top of the 11th. On a 3-1 fastball from Brad Cornett, he banged a run-scoring double to left, giving the Bisons a 5-4 lead. It was the 15th double of the year for Howard.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Howard told the Buffalo Times.
