Lawton, Bisons Sink Swamp Foxes Again in Game 5
The Buffalo Bisons are one game away from a sweep after a 9-3 win over the visiting Savannah Swamp Foxes at Aspinwall Grounds today. Bisons right fielder Matt Lawton was named player of the game, as he went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Buffalo now holds a 4-1 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

The two teams provided some entertaining baseball for the Aspinwall Grounds crowd. Regardless of the outcome, a good time was had by all.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Lawton told the Buffalo Daily.
