Gaston Excels, But Octopi Win
The Ogallala Octopi overcame a fine performance by Amarillo right fielder Carl Gaston to defeat the Warheads, 9-8, at Ballpark of Henderson. Gaston was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 4. Ogallala reliever Quan Situ was the winner. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was Javier Beltrán. Ogallala currently is in 8th place in the Premier Low A at 34-46.

Ogallala relied on the hitting of Robin Merlet to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Octopi on top, 8-7. For the game, Merlet had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Merlet, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
