The Buffalo Rangers topped the Montreal Harfangs, 6-2, in Eastern Conference action at Mount Royal Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of Buffalo pitcher Pablo Alvarez. Alvarez, now 3-2, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 3, walking 3, and allowing 2 runs. Buffalo is in second place in the Eastern Conference Benito Cossutta Division with a record of 71-57.

Buffalo used the hitting of Merlin Garbie to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Rangers on top, 5-0. For the game, Garbie had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I think we did a good job of looking for pitches we wanted to hit and put good swings on them," said Buffalo skipper Alex Beckman.
