TODAY’S GAME: Tonight, the Bisons take on the Syracuse Chiefs in the final game of a two-game series at Alliance Bank Stadium (6:00 p.m.). The Herd needs a win tonight to earn the series split, as the Chiefs collected the 9-1 victory last night. Tonight’s game will wrap up the Bisons’ season-opening six-game roadtrip. The Bisons are 3-2 so far this trip, thanks to a series victory in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Tomorrow, the Bisons will host the Pawtucket Red Sox in the 2010 Home Opener.

VS. THE CHIEFS: The Bisons are now just 4-13 in their last 17 games against the Syracuse Chiefs. It’s the early season matchups that have done the Herd in against the Chiefs. Syracuse won the first eight contests in 2009 en route to winning the season series, 12-4. In 2008, Syracuse won the first five games against Buffalo before winning the season series, 9-7.

ROLLIN’ STONE: RHP TOBI STONER gets the start tonight, hoping five days and an hour rain delay don’t interrupt his momentum. Stoner looked strong in the season opener on Thursday in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before a lengthy rain delay ended his start early. Stoner allowed just two hits and struck out four in 3.1 innings of work against the Yankees. The rain delay ended Stoner’s night, however, and he ended up with a no-decision.
