Improving to 12-1, Medina trimmed Pavilion/York 3-0 in a non league baseball game at Vets Park this afternoon.

Aidan Papaj hurled a sparkling 1 hitter with 16 strikeouts on the mound for the Mustangs.

Medina broke away from a scoreless deadlock in the fourth inning on an RBI single by Preston Woodworth. Papaj reached on a single and advanced to third on errors to set up the opportunity.

The Mustangs later added a pair of big insurance runs in the sixth inning on an RBI single by Jimmy Dieter and a ground out off the bat of Cam Fike. Two hit batters and a walk loaded the bases to set up the threat.

Medina returns to Niagara-Orleans League action on Monday with a 4:45 p.m. game at Newfane.

The defending champion Mustangs currently lead the N-O with a 9-0 record.
