Buffalo Sent Home with 5-4 Loss
The Philadelphia Spectres topped the Buffalo Rangers, 5-4, in Eastern Conference action at Sony Field at Philadelphia. The standout performance belonged to Philadelphia pitcher and San Juan, Puerto Rico, native Jon Rodriguez. In 5.1 innings, Rodriguez surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. The Spectres win now puts them at 69-67.

Ron Gideon had a big 2-run home run for the Spectres in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Philadelphia leading 3-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a curveball from 28-year old right-handed pitcher Alcides Zaldivar and punished it. The result was his 11th home run of the season, which put the Spectres on top, 5-1.

"A great game, a great day," said Rodriguez about the win. "I can't complain."
