Buffalo currently is in a battle for first place with Syracuse and Scranton in their division and this was a must win.

What?
Every fan received a punch out bingo card and a set of rules.

All in all a great day at the ballpark.
My cheap little camera did a great job of capturing the ball on the way to the plate
