Ethan Hett delivers a pitch in the Warriors’ first game against Herington. Hett pitched a three-inning perfect game, allowing no hits or walks and striking out seven batters in Marion’s 16-0 win.

Marion surged to a 16-0 victory in Game 1 after only three innings.

Three Warriors paved the way for Marion at the plate. Dylan Seacat managed two hits, including a double, in as many at-bats. Seacat scored two runs for the Warriors and had one RBI.

Caleb Williams was 1-for- 3 at the plate with a double and two runs scored.

Grif Case hit a triple, scored two runs and drove in three.
