For the game, Wilson Meléndez scored 3 times and knocked in 5 runs. When he hit his last home run, his teammates, hearing the crack of the bat, leaped off the bench and rushed on the field to greet the jubilant Meléndez when he reached home plate. "It was just one game, but it sure was a lot of fun -- 3-for-5, three roundtrippers and a win," a gleeful Meléndez told BNN reporters in a postgame interview. "What a day." Wilson Meléndez walked in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jason Connel in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Jerry Powell in the 6th, struck out in the 7th, struck out in the 9th and hit a three-run home run off Emmett Dodman in the 11th.
