In the 12-8 Sacramento win over New Orleans, the impact of Patton Buffington was substantial. Buffington, who is tied for 3rd in the PCL in home runs with 7, went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 5. Sacramento reliever Wayne Jones was the winner. His record is now 5-0. The losing pitcher was Roman Dodge. The River Cats are now 21-12, while the Baby Cakes fall to 17-16.

Buffington put Sacramento up, 6-1, when he hit a 3-run home run off Roman Dodge in the bottom of the second. His 7th home run of the season helped the River Cats capture the win.

"Winning is all that really matters and we got it done today," Buffington told the Sacramento Daily.
