The home team had won the previous five meetings between Marinette and Fox Valley Lutheran, and Marinette kept the tradition alive. The Marines walked away with an 8-3 victory over the Foxes on Saturday. This was payback for the Marines, who suffered a 2-0 loss the last time these two teams met.
Justin Kruse spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on five hits.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Maveric Williamson, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and four RBI. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high. Chase MacGregor was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one home run and three RBI.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Marinette lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.
Marinette is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Fox Valley Lutheran, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-9.
Marinette will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Foxes: the pair will be back at it again later today.
