Phantoms Drop 7-2 Decision
Buffalo Rangers starter Carl Rodda pitched effectively against the Chicago Phantoms at Bison Stadium. The right-hander spearheaded his team's 7-2 win. Rodda picked up the win for Buffalo, going 7 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 5-7. The second-place Rangers have won 5 consecutive games.

Merlin Garbie had a big 3-run home run for the Rangers in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Buffalo leading 3-2 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a fastball from 32-year old left-handed pitcher Abdi Bitok and punished it. The result was his 9th home run of the season, which put the Rangers on top, 6-2.

"My job is to go out and execute," said Rodda.
