On Thursday, May 11, the Mariners Boys’ Baseball Team brought home the Lake Superior Cup from Cook County in an 8-1 win over the Vikings. The Lake Superior Cup is a traveling trophy between Cook County and Silver Bay, and Coach Ward Wallin was proud of his team’s victory. Winning pitcher Jacob Carpenter had two hits and two RBIs (runs batted in), Jake Stadler had two hits, and Avery Thompson had two RBIs on one hit.
This victory came close on the heels of another victory on May 9, when the Mariners beat Two Harbors 5 – 1. Braylen Hoff was the winning pitcher, and Jake Stadler had two hits.
May 12 saw a loss of 5-4 to Mountain Iron- Buhl, but not without a two RBI double from Andrew Wehrman.
Coach Ward Wallin says, “The kids have bought into the system [of baseball] and understand it’s a process. It ultimately starts with fundamentals and progresses from there. As young as we are, we are holding our own!”
By the time of publication, the Mariners should have a few more home games under their belts, ready to finish out their season with away games in Cook County and Cromwell. May your season finish strong with many great memories made.
