Bisons Rally Past Moonshiners for 3-0 Series Lead
When the games really matter, the Buffalo Bisons put on their best show, beating the Asheville Moonshiners by a final score of 9-8 today. David Howard earned player of the game honors, as he was 3-4 with 2 doubles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Buffalo now leads Asheville 3-0 in the best-of-5 affair.

When he came to bat in the bottom of the ninth, Manny Martinez had a chance to end it. Asheville pitcher Mike Draper had other ideas. But with one out, Martinez hit a sacrifice fly. The Bisons had the win.

"Put a star next to this win," Howard said.
