Nieves Handcuffs Brass, Bisons Seize 2-0 Advantage in WS
The Buffalo Bisons got a strong game from starter Juan Nieves, but it was some clutch hitting that ultimately delivered the win.

The Bisons took the 4-3 win over the New Orleans Brass in Game 2 of the World Series in a 10th inning walk-off today. The win capped off a fine outing for the left-handed Nieves, who was named player of the game. Nieves threw 7 innings of 5-hit ball in the win, which gave the Bisons a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Tim Spehr came to bat in the bottom of the tenth. Facing New Orleans pitcher Mark Brandenburg, he hit a 0-1 curveball for a solo home run. It was a game-changer, putting Buffalo on top, 4-3.

"Good win for us, tough loss for them," said Spehr.

The next game is set to be played Monday, August 28th, 1995 at Bay Hawks Ballpark in New Orleans. Slated to start are Jeff Suppan for Buffalo and LaTroy Hawkins for New Orleans.
