Milligan (17-14, 9-9 AAC) used a two-run fifth inning to take the lead 2-1 and extended the lead with two more in the sixth, but the Buffaloes gave up three runs in the bottom of the eighth and took the loss.
 
Cody Hyder provided the initial spark for Milligan's offense, homering to right to tie the game at one in the top of the fifth.
