U-21 Cut Down Plainsmen, 6-2
Riding the 3-hit performance of the top prospect Richard Younger, the Athletic Club KC U-21 stymied the Nebraska Plainsmen, 6-2. Sook Sung-Man, who went 5.1 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 2 runs on 5 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 2. His record now stands at 1-1. Andrew Sprowle nailed down his 1st save.

Tied up with the Plainsmen in the top of the sixth, the U-21 got a boost from first baseman Gerald Merendino. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, Merendino saw a 1-0 fastball from Jim Unknown and hit a 2-run double to break the stalemate and put Athletic Club KC on top, 4-2.

Merendino told the Athletic Club KC Citizen: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."

Athletic Club KC is off to a hot start at 4-2.
