Menlo School baseball senior Chuck Wynn delivered his second multi-home run game of the season, and junior Ava Allen recorded her first varsity hit, as the Knights (7-3 PAL Bay, 15-7 overall) rolled to a 14-0 win via five-inning mercy-rule at Capuchino (2-7, 12-10).
With Menlo leading 6-0 in the second, Wynn delivered his first homer of the day, a solo shot to left. In the third, sophomore Fletcher Cahill and Wynn went back-to-back. Cahill connected for a two-run blast, before Wynn crushed a solo shot to left to make it 10-0. Wynn, who entered the day tied with Sequoia senior Morgan Winfield for the Peninsula Athletic League lead in home runs, now leads all the PAL outright with nine homers on the year.
In the fifth, Allen stepped to the plate for her first at-bat of the season and, with two on and two out, laced an RBI single to left. It marks the first hit of her varsity career in two seasons with the Knights. The junior scored two runs on the day, also crossing the plate in the fourth inning as a courtesy runner on a two-run home run by sophomore Zach Roeder.
Roeder paced all hitters in the game with a 3-for-3 day, with a home run and two RBIs. Wynn and junior Matthew Majalya added two hits apiece, as Menlo totaled 15 hits in the game.
Logan Arceo and Jordan Estrella recorded the only two hits for the Mustangs.
Menlo sophomore Liam Widner recorded a two-hit shutout, allowing one walk an striking out four in the abbreviated complete game. His record improves to 3-0 with a 1.75 ERA.
The win moves Menlo into second place in the PAL Bay Division standings, leapfrogging the King’s Academy, who lost 6-2 to Carlmont. Menlo now trails first-place Burlingame by a half game, and leads TKA and Menlo-Atherton (tied for fourth) by one game.
