Completing a perfect 12-0 league title campaign, Medina blanked host Wilson 7-0 this afternoon to close out the Niagara-Orleans baseball season.

Preston Woodworth hurled a 2 hit shutout with 11 strikeouts to lead the way for the Mustangs which improve to 17-1 overall.

Up 1-0 on an unearned first inning run, Medina opened up a little breathing room by scoring three times in the third inning on an RBI double by Brody Fry, a ground out and an error. A single by Tyler Kroening and a walk set up the threat.

The Mustangs tacked on one insurance run in the fifth on an error and two in the sixth on an RBI single by Carter Woodworth and a fielders choice play.

Medina will close out the regular season with non league road games at Kenmore West on Tuesday and at Lockport on Thursday.
