Harfangs Edge Rangers, 2-1, to Open DS
The Divisional Series got off to a quiet start, with the traveling Montreal Harfangs taking a low-scoring, 2-1 win over the host Buffalo Rangers. Montreal right-hander Craig Kruppenbacher was marvelous at Bison Stadium. The Harfangs now hold a 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Montreal used the timely hitting of Juan Ahumada to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Harfangs on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I was able to really locate my pitches tonight," said Kruppenbacher.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Bison Stadium in Buffalo.
