Game 1 for the Mariners was against the Buhrow Brothers Bats in a sloppy game. The Mariners were excited to play on a field with the wind blowing out. Home runs in the first inning by Pete Salazar, Ryan Driggers and Jon Simonson gave the Mariners a great 7 run start and then it ended. Only able to net 2 more runs the rest of the game wasn’t enough to make up for less than optimal defense as the Mariners fell 14-9.

 

Game 2 was against the hard luck Rangers sporting a 5 game losing streak, missing their pitcher causing Coach Sil to juggle the line up again. A two run dinger by Ryan Driggers opened the scoring in the first. Another 2 run blast by Driggers (his 4th of the day) tied it at 4 after 4. Going into the 7th inning knotted at 5, Troy Steele singled, Ben Collincini walked and John Miller singled in what turned out to be the winning run. Jon Simonson singled in an insurance run to lead the Mariners to a 7-5 win and a split for the day.

 

Ryan Driggers was our star for the day going 4-6 with 4 home runs, 4 runs, and 6 RBI’s. Matt Hyson was 3-5 and Troy Steele, John Miller and Jon Simonson all chipped in with 3-6. At a season record of 6-6, the Mariners are ready to make a move up the standings.
