Buffalo Bisons News Release
Buffalo, NY - The Buffalo Bisons were unable to keep pace with the Worcester Red Sox on Thursday evening in their 14-1 loss at Sahlen Field.
Steward Berroa tried to help the Bisons gain momentum with a sixth-inning sacrifice fly that brought across the Bisons' only run of the ballgame.
The WooSox broke the scoreless with a big offensive fourth inning. Nick Sogard led off for Worcester, getting himself into scoring position with a double. Then, Nick Yorke singled, advancing Sogard to third. Nathan Hickey brought in both runners on a RBI double hit to right field. Two batters later Eddy Alvarez would bring Hickey in on a line drive to right, giving Worcester a 3-0 advantage over Buffalo.
Worcester would extend their lead further as Eddy Alvarez was brought home on a fielder's choice. Mark Contreras was credited with the RBI, extending the WooSox lead to 4-0. Worcester would push their lead to 5-0 as Tyler Heineman crossed the plate on a Romy Gonzalez walk.
The Red Sox added two more runs two batters later as Yorke singled on a line drive. The ball deflected off Rafael Lantigua's glove, allowing Contreras and Chase Meidroth to score. Yorke's 2 RBI single extended the WooSox lead to 7-0 over the Bisons.
Worcester strengthened their grip on the game in the top of the sixth. Sogard further pushed out the lead for the WooSox. His line-drive single pushed the Worcester lead to 8-0. Later in the inning, Alvarez extended the Red Sox lead to 10-0 as Sogard scored. The WooSox then added another run as a Heineman single scored Hickey. This extended the Red Sox lead over the Bisons to 11-0.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Bisons got on the scoreboard. After a pair of singles by both Clarke and Cam Eden, Berroa brought Clarke across the plate on a Sacrifice Fly. Contreras had to make a diving catch to keep Berroa from doing further damage. The play would cut the Worcester lead to 11-1.
In the top of the seventh, Worcester would add a couple more runs courtesy of a Hickey line drive to left field. The hit scored, both, Meidroth and Gasper. This made the score 13-1 WooSox.
In the top of the ninth, Hickey collected his fifth RBI on the night. A line drive to center field would allow Gasper to cross the plate to bring the lead to 14-1 Worcester.
