Mendoza Terrific in 11-1 Montreal Triumph
Things keep getting worse for Normal.

The Normal Nutcrackers had to reckon with Montreal Cardinals hurler Mario Mendoza. Mendoza, who is tied for 6th in the TR in wins with 8, overwhelmed the opposition in the 11-1 Cardinals triumph. The 40-46 Nutcrackers have lost 13 consecutive games.

Mendoza, who leaned on his cutter, allowed 1 run on just 2 hits over 9 innings for the Cardinals. For the most part, Normal hitters were simply overmatched.

"We scored more than enough runs this time," said Montreal manager Emmanuel Even. "Now watch. The next game we'll probably struggle to get a base hit."
