The scorekeeper got an easy start on Friday as neither Mendon nor Batavia made it on the board until the fifth inning. The Vikings were the clear victors by a 7-1 margin over the Blue Devils. Considering the Vikings have won five contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Mendon got a great performance from Ethan Postle as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 11 over six innings pitched. Postle has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Mendon let Colden Forney and Reece Totedo run wild. Forney went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run, while Totedo went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. That's the most hits Totedo has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Noah Sansone, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run.
