Taniguchi Swings Mermen to 8-5 Win
The Corpus Christi Mermen got a rain-soaked win over the Washington Wildthings.

The Corpus Christi Mermen downed the Washington Wildthings, 8-5. The hitting star was first baseman Noritoshi Taniguchi. Taniguchi hit 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Mermen. Kevin McGaha, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-1. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. Josh Maughan was called on to finish, recording his 9th save.

Corpus Christi got the win thanks to a clutch hit from Jason Finch. The right fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Mermen ahead, 8-5. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it had a major impact on the outcome.

"Nervous? No," said Finch. "It was my time to shine."

The setback makes Washington 12-42.
