The top seeded Niagara Surge downed the Medina Mustangs 15U 11-2 this afternoon in the quarterfinal round of the Western New York Summer Classic Baseball Tournament being played at West Seneca.

Medina did jump out to a quick 2-0 first inning lead on a two-run single by Brayden LaMartina after two walks and a hit batter had loaded the bases.

However, the Mustangs managed no more hits and no more runs the rest of the way.

The Surge rallied into the lead for good by scoring three times in the second inning on a bases loaded walk, a fielders choice play and an RBI single.

Keeping the momentum, the Surge locked up the win by scoring a total of 8 runs over the next four innings including one in the third, two in both the fourth and fifth and three in the sixth.
