Front-running defending champion Medina romped to a 21-1 win under the lights at Barker this evening to improve to 9-0 in Niagara-Orleans League baseball action.

Vinny Gray earned the win on the mound for the Mustangs giving up only 2 hits and striking out 8 in five innings of work.

Aidan Papaj gave Medina an early 2-0 lead with an RBI single in the first inning and an RBI double in the third.

The Mustangs upped the advantage to 7-0 on a two-run triple by Gray in the fourth inning and an RBI triple by Cam Fike, an RBI sacrifice fly by Jimmy Dieter and a run producing error in the fifth frame.

Medina capped off the win with a huge 13 run sixth inning which included RBI doubles by Carlos Doval and Preston Woodworth, a two-run single by Hadrian Batista and an RBI single by Ryan Pegelow.

Doval, Papaj and Gray each finished with a pair of hits.

Sal Ruvio drove in Barker’s run with a fifth inning double.

Barker finishes the N-O season at 4-8.

Medina is next scheduled to host Pavilion/York in a non league game at Vets Park at 11 a.m. Saturday.
