Winchester 8-4 Victors at Mermen Field
Billy Carroll powered the Winchester Mountaineers to a win over the Corpus Christi Mermen. The final score was 8-4. The Winchester designated hitter, who is tied for 2nd in the E-AA in RBI with 99, was a force to be reckoned with. He banged out 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Earning the save was Gilberto Cortez. He's now cashed in 5 of 8 save opportunities. Winchester is sitting pretty at 96-29.

Winchester won the game in part because of Josh Botello. The first baseman ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Mountaineers ahead, 2-0. For the game, Botello had 1 double and 1 home run in 3 at-bats.

"This game can get contagious when you're going good offensively," said Winchester manager Mitchell Young.
