Jacksonville center fielder Damon Buford was instrumental in his team's 11-6 win over the Hartford Whalers. Buford, who is tied for 8th in the ATL in home runs with 18, went 2-4 with 3 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Suns. The second-place Suns raised their record to 58-43.

"We take it day by day here," said Buford, "and today was a good one for us."
