Buzz Score Late, Stun Battlekings, 4-3
The Salt Lake City Buzz did just enough to secure a 4-3 victory over the Naperville Battlekings at Spirits Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Jorge Mejía, who captured player of the game honors. Naperville has now lost 5 consecutive games.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth. That's when Salt Lake City first baseman Wayne Saunders, facing Sixto Palaeios, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Buzz the 4-3 win.

Mejía said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."
