Maybe all it took was a little swing doctoring from the head coach. One night after mustering only three hits as a team, the Martinsville Mustangs shelled the Gastonia Grizzlies for 13, earning their first conference win of the season Wednesday night in convincing fashion, 9-1.
Martinsville head coach Barry Powell made it a point to talk with several of his players on the bus while returning from Tuesday night's 14-1 loss to Forest City, and before Wednesday's game, he worked with at least six of his players on stance and swing patterns.
