James Russell tossed six shutout innings and the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (52-38) used a five-run second to pick up a 9-1 win over the Buffalo Bisons (49-41) on Saturday night at Coca-Cola Field in Buffalo.

In the afore-mentioned five-run second, Taylor Featherston provided the big blast with a three-run shot off of Buffalo starter Scott Diamond, Perkins delivered a solo shot off of Diamond and Burrriss came through with an RBI single. The home runs were Featherston's 11th and Perkins' sixth of the year.

Diamond (6-8) gave up the five runs on eight hits to go along with four strikeouts in 6.0 IP.

The Pigs extended the lead to 6-0 with a run in the eighth as Williams reached with a one-out triple and later scored on Andrew Knapp's RBI single.

Crawford's three-run shot in the top of the ninth off of RHP Colt Hynes (1.0 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 K) opened up a 9-0 lead for the IronPigs. The home run was Crawford's second of the season.

Matt Dominguez's solo shot off of RHP Michael Mariot (0.1 IP, H, R, ER) in the bottom of the ninth brought the Bisons within 9-1 before the game was called.
