Wenzel belts 2 home runs to Power Rotters Offense
The Riverside Rotters used the hitting of first baseman Gene Wenzel to subdue the Corpus Christi Mermen, 9-5. For the game, Wenzel was 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and a double, while scoring 3 and driving in 5. The winner in relief was Kurt Neal. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. He now owns a record of 5-0. Riverside has run its win streak to 12 consecutive.

In the top of the seventh, 24-year old first baseman Greg Mattox delivered for Riverside. That's when he belted a 3-run home run, putting the Rotters up, 6-5. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a climactic one.

"This team is doing whatever it takes to win," said Rotters manager Hermenegildo Fernando.
