Lobster Edge Past Rangers, 8-7
The Maine Lobster overcame a good performance by Buffalo catcher Travis Csorba to knock off Buffalo, 8-7, at Bison Stadium. Csorba belted 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Gigi Cuzzocrea was the winner in relief. His record is now 7-5. The losing pitcher was Santiago Escobar. Maine sits in last place in the Eastern Conference Goff Division at 55-95.

The Lobster used some clutch hitting to beat the Rangers, a good example being the at-bat of Mike Bishop in the top of the ninth. With two down, Bishop gave his team the lead, 8-7, when he hit a 2-run single.

"It's still just a game," said Bishop, "whether you win or lose."
