Defending champion Medina doubled its Niagara-Orleans baseball league lead by posting a key 4-1 victory over Roy-Hart at Gasport this evening.
The Mustangs improve to 7-0 with the win as the Rams slip to 8-2.
The win completes a home-and-home series sweep as the Mustangs also downed the Rams 8-1 at Vets Park this past Friday night.
Aidan Papj had a big night both on the mound and at the plate to lead the way for Medina.
On the mound he scattered 3 hits and struck out 16.
At the plate he banged out three hits including a double and a two-run single which highlighted the Mustangs decisive 4 run fifth inning. An error and an RBI single by Cam Fike plated the other two runs as a double by Jimmy Dieter and a single by Carlos Doval set up the threat.
Roy-Hart’s run came on a passed ball in the fifth inning.
