The Bisons needed only one run to earn their Thursday afternoon win over Norfolk. After scoreless baseball through the first five innings, Luis Rivera plated the Bisons lone run on Jesus Feliciano’s RBI single.

After Brandon Knight’s outing was cut short due to a 1:12 rain delay, Kyle Snyder, Jon Switzer and Elmer Dessens combined to preserve the shutout – the Bisons first of the season.

Dessens earned the save, he’s 7-for-7 in consecutive save opportunities. Luis Rivera, called up from high-A St. Lucie is 3-5 since arriving to the club.
