The International League’s top offense was too much for the Bisons to handle on Wednesday night.

Durham got home runs from Chris Richard, Angel Chavez and Rashad Eldridge in a 9-2 victory over Buffalo on Wednesday night.

The Bulls had just three hits over the first five innings against Bisons’ starter Tobi Stoner, but two of them left the yard. Richard opened the scoring with a lead-off shot in the third inning while Chavez hit one out in left field with two outs in the fifth for the 2-0 lead.

The Bisons cut the lead in half in the bottom of the sixth inning as Mike Hessman and Chris Carter produced RBI-singles. The Herd then had two cracks with the tying runs on base, but Bulls’ reliever Mike Ekstrom got Russ Adams and Josh Thole to fly out to end the threat.
