Willard Hits 3 Bombs in 13-9 Win
In a high-scoring game between Maine and Buffalo, second baseman Elmer Willard was a difference-maker. The 25-year-old helped Maine grab the 13-9 win. He belted 3 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored three times. The Blizzard, now 43-47, have lost 4 straight.

The Blizzard had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Guides going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old right fielder Ray Workman came to the plate. Workman hit a 3-run home run on a 2-0 fastball from Buffalo hurler Alfred Smith. It was Workman's 1st home run of the year.

"This game had a little bit of everything," said Workman.
