YPSILANTI, MI - Eastern Michigan hurler Jeff Fischer once again showed that he is a legitimate ace as he held the University at Buffalo to three hits in a complete game, 6-1 win in Mid-American Conference play at Oestrike Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Bulls' pitching matched Fischer almost step-for-step, allowing only four hits, but a three-run homer by Isaiah Gainforth in the fourth inning after two walks put the Eagles ahead 4-1 and two more unearned seventh inning runs cemented the game.

Sophomore southpaw Shane Wolf (Freeville, NY/Lansing) (0-4) threw well for the Bulls (5-19 overall, 0-5 MAC), going 6 1/3 innings and allowing only four hits and three runs. He walked just two and struck out five to drop his season ERA to 5.62 in a team-high 40 innings. He has also struck out 38 batters, which is just 22 batters shy of the school record since reinstatement set by Brendan Dunford in 2002.

Sophomore shortstop Mike Folli (Endicott, NY/Union-Endicott) had two of the Bulls' hits, going 2-for-3 to raise the Wallace Watch candidates average to .318 (27-for-85) on the season. He also scored UB's lone run.

Buffalo got out to an early advantage against Fischer, as Folli led off with a walk in the top of the first. Freshman Eric Flynn (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Falls) followed with a double to left field to score Folli.

After that, Fischer (5-2) allowed only singles to Folli in the sixth and eighth frames and two runners to reach via error in the seventh inning as he struck out 10 and walked one to pick up his third complete game.

The Eagles (11-11 overall, 4-1 MAC) battled back in the bottom half of the first inning, taking advantage of an error, a stolen base and a one-out single by Steve Bradshaw to tie the score.

Freshman Dan Francis (Clarence, NY/Clarence) also tossed well in relief, as he pitched the final 1 2/3 innings, facing only five batters and striking out two.

The Bulls and Eagles will get back in action on Sunday, wrapping up the three-game conference set with a 1:00 pm game at Oestrike Stadium.
