Buffalo Bisons News Release


COLUMBUS, OH - The Buffalo Bisons continued their six-game series against the Columbus Clippers on Wednesday night by picking up the 5-4 win from Huntington Park. The victory extended the Herd's season best winning streak to five games.

Jordan Groshans had a three-hit night and reached base four times, raising his average to .381 with the Herd this season. Zack Collins also made his debut with the Bisons, serving as the designated hitter and going 0-3 with a pair of walks after being optioned by Toronto earlier this week.

Nick Allgeyer made his ninth start of the season and threw five innings of shutout ball while allowing three hits and zero walks. Allgeyer recorded just one strikeout, instead getting batters to hit the ball on the ground and let his infield take care of the rest.

Clippers starter Adam Scott largely matched Allgeyer through four, but the Bisons got to him in the fifth when Samad Taylor drove in two runs off a triple to become the first Bison to reach the 30-RBI plateau this season. Taylor himself would come around to score on a wild pitch to make it 3-0 Buffalo.

The Clippers would tie it the following frame when Richie Palacios tagged Shaun Anderson for a three-run homer, but the Herd quickly regained the lead in the seventh after loading the bases off reliver Tim Herrin. A passed ball allowed Groshans to score from third, before a sac fly off the bat of Chavez Young cashed in Collins to put the Bisons up 5-3.

Joe Biagini, who got out of a big jam in the sixth caused by Anderson, threw a perfect seventh, before Adrian Hernandez did the same in the eighth. Hernandez then stayed in for the ninth, and after retiring the first two batters, allowed a single and a walk before a Will Benson double cut the lead to one.

Hernandez would ultimately strand two runners in scoring postion by striking out Will Freeman to end the game and record the two-inning save; the one run Hernandez gave up was the first earned run he has allowed with the Bisons this season.

The Bisons and Clippers will continue their series tomorrow night, with first pitch starting 30 minutes earlier than usual at 6:35 p.m. EST. Jeremy Beasley is set to make the start for the Herd and will face lefthander Konnor Pilkington.
