Yardmen Bump Off Ghost Lights, 7-2
Wichita Falls and Marfa got after it at Yardmen Park.

The Wichita Falls Yardmen beat the Marfa Ghost Lights, 7-2. Wichita Falls pitcher and Gatineau, Canada, native Nick Merritt led the way. Merritt got the win, improving to 3-0. He allowed 5 hits and walked 2 over 9 innings. Merritt allowed 2 runs.

The Yardmen got an important contribution from second baseman Adalberto Toscano, who in the bottom of the first hit a fastball into left for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Yardmen ahead, 3-0.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Merritt told the Wichita Falls Daily News. "You win just by scoring more runs."

The first-place Yardmen improved to 48-36.
