Herd 1, Tides 0

Buffalo wins, 1-0.

Nice day for not giving up hits.

Four Bison pitchers, Brandon Knight, Kyle Snyder, Jon Switzer (who’s having quite the decent season for a ka-ka team), and Elmer Gantry… err.. Dessens, combined to throw a 3-hitter.

Buffalo’s lone run came from a Jesus Feliciano single, knocking in Luis Rivera.
