WIOTA - The Monroe Brewers remain in contention for the Home Talent League Western Section's No. 1 seed and killed Wiota's playoff hopes with a 17-2 pounding of the Indians on Sunday.
Monroe (10-3) pounded out 15 hits. The Brewers exploded for 10 runs in the second inning, which included Justin Hahn's three-run homer.
The Brewers had five players with multi-hit games including Shawn Dascher (4-for-5) with three RBI, Rooney Janecke (3-for-5) with two RBI, Hahn (2-for-4 with three RBI), Cody Boals (2-for-4 with four RBI) and Mike Cleary (2-for-5).
"We want to get a top two seed," Brewers co-player manager Lon Scheuerell said. "Every game is a must win so we can get a first round bye."
Boals pitched five innings and gave up two earned runs on six hits. He struck out seven and walked four.
Brad Schliem went 2-for-3 to lead WIota.
Wiota starting pitcher Brock Bidlingmaier pitched five innings and gave up 13 earned runs on 11 hits. He struck out six, walked two and hit one.
