The Norwalk Maples picked up a win at Buffalo Silo, downing the Buffalo Hopper Boys, 7-5. On the mound for Norwalk was left-hander Telesforo Mata, who played a pivotal role in the win. Mata, now 16-10, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 3, walking 7, and allowing 4 runs. Norwalk is now 64-61. Buffalo is 60-65.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Daniel Cruz? The Norwalk right fielder had a bases-clearing double in the top of the first inning to put the Maples on top, 3-0. For the game, Cruz had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Winning never gets dull," said Cruz.
