After tossing a scoreless top of the first against the Wauseon Indians, Swanton junior Luke Marlow singled to lead off the bottom of the inning and later came around to score the first run of the game.  When Marlow scored again in the bottom of the fifth, it was the Bulldogs’ 11^th run of the contest against the Wauseon’s lone score and thereby ended the game, 11-1, under the mercy rule of a 10-run lead after five innings.

The bookend scores were not the only damage Marlow inflicted on the visiting Indians in the game, he also pitched all five innings for the win, giving up just two hits, zero earned runs while walking two and striking out seven.  “My slider was working better than my fastball so I stuck with that,” said Marlow explaining how he shut down the Wauseon hitters.

His teammates provided with plenty of run support including three RBIs from Adam Lemon, two hits and three runs scored by Brady O’Shea, two hits and two runs scored by Carson Bond and two long doubles and an RBI by Evan Smigelski.  Mykale Schneider took the loss.  Caleb Kissel and Braylon Miller each had a single for Wauseon.

It was the final league game for both teams and they each finished with 3-4 records in the NWOAL.  Overall, Swanton is 14-5 and Wauseon is 5-10.  The Bulldogs travel to Northwood to face the Rangers on Monday and Wauseon entertains the Defiance Bulldogs.
