Sounds Hammered by Martinez, Drop Game 5 to Bisons
The Buffalo Bisons have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Nashville Sounds, winning 6-4 at Aspinwall Grounds today. Bisons center fielder Manny Martinez was named player of the game after he went 2-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 5. The win cuts the deficit facing the Bisons to 3-2 in the best-of-7 World Series.

Martinez turned the game around in the bottom of the eighth. That's when the Buffalo center fielder dialed up a grand slam home run. Just like that, Buffalo's 4-2 deficit turned into a 6-4 lead.

"This win gets us that much closer to where we want to be," Martinez said in postgame remarks.

The next game is set to be played Sunday, September 8th, 1996 at Red Devils Stadium in Nashville. Slated to start are Mac Suzuki for the Buffalo Bisons and Paul Wilson for the the Nashville Sounds.
