Dennis, Mountaineers Too Much for Wildthings
Behind a solid performance from shortstop Bill Dennis, the Winchester Mountaineers defeated the Washington Wildthings, 9-3. Dennis went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 5 for the Mountaineers. The winner in relief was Scott Sauer. He is now 6-0. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 5 hits in 3.2 innings. The first-place Mountaineers now have a win-loss record of 75-27.

Dennis contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Winchester in the bottom of the second. With his team trailing 2-1, Dennis took a changeup from Jim Unknown and stroked the home run to left. His 6th home run of the season allowed the Mountaineers to leap in front, 3-2.

"I believe in our guys," said Winchester skipper Mitchell Young. "I like the energy they're playing with."
