Soto, Witt and Mears take care of over 6 pounds of the Mud Bugs. No newbies this go-around as we've all had the critters before with Mears the last man to fall to Crawfish temptation after perusing the menu for 18 minutes (to be fair, there are no pictures in their menus...)
Only 3 Meridians this year, but just like the small band of brothers 2 years ago - certainly enough to keep the streak alive.

Meridians reach the 125 win mark! Returning to the CRC while maintaining a schedule in the NKABL as well, we hit the 125 win mark in the home stretch of the 2011 season (7/31).
100 wins: A great maiden voyage in the NKABL sees us at 13-1 after our first August game (8/2) of the summer. After a rain-shortened 2007 season (6 games played), the Meridians get back to it in 2008 and then dominate most of 2009 in the new league.
With a shutout and enforcing the 10-run rule in the same game, the Meridians reach 75 wins in the final game (10/15) of the 2006 season. We play in only 1 tournament and average less than 20 league games per year so a good feat in 5 short seasons.
5/29/05: With a 2-1 victory over the Hilltoppers on our Opening Day (5/22) and sweeping the Outlaws the next weekend (5/29), the Meridians hit 50 wins early in the 2005 season.
