The Buffalo Bisons faced a tough opponent in Durham pitcher Tony Severs, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Coca-Cola Field by a final score of 4-2. Severs went 6 innings and allowed 3 runs. Dustin Marks closed the game out for Buffalo, earning his 12th save. Buffalo goes to 51-45, Durham to 43-53.
