Menlo catcher Chuck Wynn struck out in the first inning with a runner in scoring position Saturday at Aptos. He spent the rest of the day taking any frustrations out on opposing pitchers.
Wynn homered three times in the Knights’ 17-1 mercy-rule baseball win. With Menlo (8-6) leading 4-0 in the second, the senior connected for a two-run home run to left. He delivered a three-run blast to left in the third inning to make it 10-0. In the fourth, he went yard for another three-run homer, his seventh of the year.
Wynn finished the day 3 for 5 with eight RBIs. Junior Matthew Majalya added a leadoff home run in the fourth, and went 3 for 4 with one RBI on the afternoon. Sophomore Fletcher Cahill had two hits with a double, three RBIs and four runs scored. Senior Jack Freehill totaled two hits with a double, two RBIs and four runs in the shortened five-inning game.
Aptos (7-3) broke up the shutout in the fifth with an RBI single from Dom Castillo.
Sophomore right-hander Reid Plamondon went the distance to earn the win, allowing one run on three hits and four walks, with four strikeouts. It marks the 10th win of Plamondon’s two-year varsity career. His record improves to 3-0 on the year.
