Bulls Ballpark was the site of a tense game between the Richmond Rush and Buffalo Bulls.

Buffalo left-hander Foster Griffin pitched his team to victory over the Richmond Rush at Bulls Ballpark. The final score was 3-2. Griffin picked up the win for Buffalo, going 6.1 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 8-12.

Ricardo Méndez was 1 for 2. He drove in 2 runs for Buffalo. The 23-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With no one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Chad Kuhl. It was his 41st RBI of the season.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Griffin said.

The Bulls improved to 64-65.
