Hopper Boys Score Late to Win, 5-4
The Buffalo Hopper Boys defeated the Norwalk Maples in 10 innings, 5-4, in part because of right fielder Rabbit Robinson. Robinson was 4 for 4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Hopper Boys. The second-place Hopper Boys now sit at 37-40.

Simon Laroche found himself in a pressure situation in the top of the tenth. Facing Norwalk hurler Telesforo Mata, the 17-year-old pinch hitter grounded out, driving in 1 run. His 2nd RBI of the season put the Hopper Boys on top, 5-4.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Laroche.
