Mermen Decked By Mountaineers, 11-2
The Winchester Mountaineers soundly defeated the Corpus Christi Mermen, 11-2, at Mermen Field. Josh Botello, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2020 draft, let his bat do the talking. He was 3-3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times for Winchester. The Mountaineers, at 94-29, have now won 7 straight.

John Hall had a big solo home run for the Mountaineers in the top of the first inning. With Winchester leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he got a sinker from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Edgar Minero and swatted a home run to right. It was his 29th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Mountaineers ahead, 2-0.

"This win gets us that much closer to where we want to be," Hall said in postgame remarks.
