The
Mariners were quick to start the scoring in the bottom of the first
as lead off hitter Joe Schultz reached on a misplayed ball in the
outfield. With one out, John McCaustlin doubled to left putting
runners on 2nd and 3rd setting the stage for
Chris Rooney who drove both home wit a bloop single to center. Scott
Rohne singled home Rooney to give the Mariners a 3 – 0 lead after
one inning.
In
the second, with 2 out Andy Schmidt singled bringing up lead off
hitter Joe Schultz. With Schmidt breaking for 2nd on the
first pitch, Schultz executed a perfect hit and run driving a single
through the vacated 2nd base position sending Schmidt to
3rd. Joel Schmitz and McCaustlin walked to load the bases
and once again Rooney delivered a single to score two runs. Mike
Fier then singled home two more to give the Mariners a formidable 7
– 0 lead.
Mariner
catcher Mike McCallion led off the third inning with a booming home
run over the left field fence to extend the lead to 8 – 0. The
Mariners threatened again in the 4th only to strand 3
runners as Waconia pitcher Kirk Vergin struck out the side.
Waconia
took advantage of 4 walks, a wild pitch and a hit batsman and a lone
hit in the top of the 5th to score 2 runs. A well
executed throw from right by Andy Schmidt cut down a third run at
the plate.
The
Mariners added 3 more runs in their half of the fifth, led by a long
single to left by Kevin McDonald, followed by 4 walks, a sacrifice
fly by Andy Schmidt and a misplayed ball by Waconia.

Shakopee
Chiefs 3 Prior Lake Mariners 2
|
|
|
Shakopee took advantage
of 4 walks and singles by Reed Boltman and Tim Holzhuter to plate 3
runs in the top of the second. Mariner pitcher Mike Fier then went
on to retire 14 of the next 16 Shakopee batters.
Mariner catcher, Mike
McCallion led off the 6th with a single, only to be erased at second
on a fielder's choice play initiated by Mariner shortstop Joel
Schmitz. Tim Hanson reached on an error moving Jeff Carlson, running
for Schmitz to third. Carlson scored on an infield out by Scott
Rohne narrowing the margin to 3 - 1 in favor of the Chiefs.
In the seventh, pinch
hitter Jim Manfred popped to the first baseman and catcher Kevin
McDonald flew out to left. With two out, Mariner first baseman Jeff
Carlson delivered a single. Chris Rooney drove Carlson home with a
long double to the gap in left. Fier followed with a sinking liner
to left that had the potential to score Rooney with the tying run,
but the Mariner hopes were dashed by a spectacular diving catch made
by Shakopee left fielder, Reed Boltman to preserve a 3 -2 Chiefs
victory.

St.
Peter Saints 5 Prior Lake Mariners 0
|
|
|
The St. Peter Saints maintained their
winning ways Sunday with a 5 - 0 win over the Mariners at St. Peters
Veteran's Field.. "Walks will Haunt" is an old
baseball adage and it proved true for the Mariners as 6 Saints
gained free passes in the first 3 innings of play. Prior Lake missed
a key double play ground ball in the third that opened the door to 3
runs being scored. Jeff Greenbush showed signs of brilliance with
good velocity and an excellent curve ball, but had trouble with his
command. Tim Hanson relieved and closed the door on further scoring
and Mark Schroeder pitched a scoreless 6th for the Mariners
Once again, the bats were relatively
quiet as the Mariners were able to scratch out only 5 scattered hits
and never able to mount a serious threat. Norm Kintzle led off the
third with a double to the gap in right, but was stranded at second.
Chris Rooney, playing in his first game of the season,
"one-hopped" the center field fence in the top of the
seventh for a ground rule double, but once again was left at second
as the Mariners dropped to 2 -2 in the MSMABA Blue Division.
Prior Lake is at home on Thursday
night as the St. Louis Park Cardinals make their maiden visit to the
Vet in Prior Lake. Game time is set for 8:00
pm.

Belle
Plaine Gray Tigers 2 Prior Lake Mariners 1
|
|
|
The Mariners dropped a tough one on
Thursday night in Belle Plaine by a score of 2 - 1.
Once again, the bats were on the quiet
side. However, Jim Manfred pitched a great game striking
out 10 and walking only one while surrendering just 4 hits.
The Mariners managed 3 hits, one a
double down the left field line by left hand hitting Mike Fier in
the top of the seventh to set the stage for a comeback try. Jay
Jendersee and Mike McCalion followed with walks to load the
bases with one out, but the rally fell short.
From a positive standpoint, the
Mariners made no errors and the pitching was tight.
