Buffalo Bisons News Release


TODAY'S GAME: This afternoon, the Bisons take on the Pawtucket Red Sox at Dunn Tire Park (1:05 p.m.). The Herd is coming off an unbelievable night as they came from eight runs down to defeat the PawSox, 15-14, in the completion of a suspended game. Buffalo then won a second game, 5-0. On the hill today will be LHP Jason Stanford, who earned a no-decision on Tuesday in Syracuse (6.2IP, 7H, 4ER, 3K).

ON CLOUD NINE: The Bisons nine-run rally last night was the largest ninth-inning comeback in Dunn Tire Park history (previously 4 runs, 8/8/06 vs. Ottawa). The eight-run comeback ties the Modern Era record, set August 19, 2000(2) against the Lynx. Buffalo won that game 9-8 despite trailing 8-0 at one point.
