A huge early inning scoring burst provided more than enough offense to back the sharp no hit pitching performance of Preston Woodworth as Medina romped to a rainy 20-0 win over Barker in a Niagara-Orleans League baseball game at Vets Park this afternoon.

In hurling his second no hitter of the N-O season, Woodworth struck out 14.

Medina took the lead for good in the first inning on a two-run single by Cam Fike.

The Mustangs then broke the contest wide open by exploding for 9 runs in the second inning highlighted by a two-run single by Woodworth and RBI singles by Carlos Doval, Ryan Pegelow and Aidan Papaj.

Kolton Fletcher and Lathan McEwen-Miller then both had RBI singles and Pegelow an RBI sacrifice fly in the third inning.

Fike and Papaj both had a total of 3 hits and Pegelow 2.

Medina stays perfect in N-O action at 8-0 and Barker slips to 4-7.
