The Mariners got on the Trojans early when Hudson Neff singled to left field, stole second base, advanced to third on a wild pitch and then scored on a single off the bat of Gunnar Tweit, who eventually scored on a wild pitch later in the inning. It was pretty clean baseball after that as both team’s aces pitched remarkably. Neff allowed just three hits and walked one in the complete game shutout win in just 79 pitches. Junior Nate Payne went the distance and struck out 10 batters for Meridian.

LC senior Sam Kok finished off his complete game in the bottom of the inning to get his third win of the season, and he ended with nine strikeouts.
