Baby Jays Recap - Logan Warmoth provided the Walk-Off

Buffalo (13-10) - Won 3-2 over Syracuse

Buffalo didn’t do a lot with the bats to support TJ Zeuch, but they did just enough to pick up a walk-off win in this one. Buffalo scored 1 in the 1st on a Kevin Smith RBI single. Tyler White tied the game at 2 in the 6th with a sac fly, driving in Christian Colon.

Christian Colon walked twice and scored twice. Buffalo had 4 hits and 7 walks but were able to push across just enough runs.
