Chargers Get Hard-Earned Win
The San Diego Chargers picked up a win at Chargers Stadium, topping the Buffalo Bills, 5-4. On the mound for San Diego was right-hander Bill Wheeler. He played a principal role in the triumph. The win went to Isaiah Wallace in relief, making him now 2-1. Tony Loaiza took the loss for Buffalo. With the win over Buffalo, the Chargers improved to 25-26.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jose Escandon in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run double off 30-year old right-handed pitcher Tony Loaiza to win the game for San Diego. The home crowd went nuts.

"This game was intense," Wheeler said, postgame.
