Blizzard Use Late Score to Top Maple Leafs, 7-6
The Buffalo Blizzard did just enough to sneak past the Toronto Maple Leafs, 7-6, at The Ballyard. Buffalo pitcher Tom Baker, in particular, had a standout performance. The win puts the Blizzard at 45-49, while the Maple Leafs drop to 56-40.

Ángel Morales was the walk-off hero for Buffalo. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Blizzard pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Tom had good stuff. When he did get into a compromising count, he made the most of it," said Buffalo manager Anthony Sexton.
