Medina 17 U romps in tournament opener
Two big back-to-back scoring innings powered the Medina Mustangs 17U baseball team to a 13-1 win over the Hamburg Dawgs this evening in the opening round of the Cheektowaga Tournament.
Breaking away from a 1-1 tie, Medina took the lead for good by scoring 4 runs in the fourth inning on a two-run single by Lukas Grimes, an RBI double by Gavin Heideman and an RBI single by winning pitcher Brody Fry.
Medina then broke the contest wide open by exploding for 8 runs in the fifth frame highlighted by a grand slam home run by Fry. A double by Cam Noonan, a walk and a single by Carter Woodworth loaded the bases setting the stage for Fry’s big blast.
The marathon innings’ other runs crossed the plate on an RBI double by Heideman, an RBI single by Brady Christiaansen, an error and a ground out.
On the mound, Fry allowed only 1 hit and struck out 12 in four innings of work.
Medina will play two games in the tournament on Saturday.
