Daniel Mengden singled home a run from third in the bottom of the 8th
inning to cap a comeback win over Memorial. Mengden hit a walk off homer
in the first round of the playoffs in game one of the Cy Fair series. He has
been a clutch player for the wolves.
Westside also got a stellar pitching performance from Taylor Walls a Rice
recruit. Walls showed how dominating he is by striking out 12 batters in the
win. There were times when the mustangs would get something going but
Walls was able to get out of the inning giving up only a walk or a base hit.
Memorial jumped out to a 2-0 early lead and held until the bottom of the 8th
inning when things fell apart. Matt Clayton walk to base, Walls beat out a sac
bunt to first. Michael Goodnight set the stage when he laid down a beautiful
sac bunt that pushed runners to second and third. Memorial gave Brett
Zieren the next batter an intentional walk to load the bases. Thatbs when
Mengden provided the game cap.
