Hernandez Slugs Mountaineers to 9-5 Win
Led by Fred Hernandez, the Winchester Mountaineers defeated the Mescalero Chiefs, 9-5. Hernandez was 2-5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice for the Mountaineers. The winner was Winchester reliever Gilberto Cortez, now 8-4. The loser was Jerrod Notaro. Winchester, at 63-23, is 14 games up in the Eastern AA Southen Division.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Josh Botello came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Mescalero pitcher Kareem Craig, he hit a full count fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Winchester on top, 6-5.

"We've got a great group of guys," Botello said, "and we're having fun right now."
