Genord breaks summerball team HR record.

He is having a great summer. It’s going to be nice having him return to the heart of the order. A little stability in roster full of question marks.

Player of the Night: Joe Genord, Amsterdam (South Florida)

As the Amsterdam Mohawks clinched the East Division championship on Saturday night, Genord recorded one of his biggest games of the season. The USF Bull belted two home runs, driving in five runs in a 21-8 victory for the Mohawks over the Oneonta Outlaws. Both of Genord's home runs came in the same inning, with the designated hitter hitting a solo shot and a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth, accounting for four of Amsterdam's nine runs in the frame. With his first home run in the inning, Genord set a new franchise record for career home runs.

Genord has hit 8 HRs this season and also hit 7 in 2016 to set the mark.

Hopefully the chip on his shoulder means a monster year. If Chatfield can also step up, there's serious power right in the middle of the lineup.

Anyone know anything about Ryan Mejia? He's listed on the roster as a transfer OF from Florida State. I'm assuming he sat out this season? Could this kid be a factor next year? He was a really good high school player at Alonso High in Tampa.

I looked into him a little. He saw limited action his Freshamn year at FSU. 3 for 9 on the year I believe. Not much to go on but I think there is potential there.
