Mountaineers Earn Clutch Win, 3-2
The Winchester Mountaineers did just enough to secure a victory over the Libertyville Polecats, 3-2, in 10 innings at Mountaineers Park. Nobody did more than pitcher Jerome Abney. The win was credited to 23-year old right-handed pitcher Steve Gryder in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Jim Unknown took the loss. The Mountaineers raised their record to 23-5.

Winchester got a clutch hit from Jason Lewis. The second baseman socked a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was game-ender.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," Abney said.
