Mariners edge Mets, 1-0

Pitchers Karcher Morris and Tim Higgins put on strong performances for

their respective teams Tuesday in a game that went down to the wire. It

was Morris and the Mariners who slipped past the Higgins-led Mets, 1-0,

in Huntington Valley Little League Majors Division action.

Morris’ complete game victory yielded only three hits. He was backed

up by a defense that turned three double plays.

Higgins, meanwhile, went the distance and struck out 14.

The game was scoreless until the final inning, where Connor Baggett

led off the sixth with a single and later scored on a wild pitch.

Morris also contributed a hit for the Mariners. Luke Patrick doubled

and Adam Martinazzi, Christian Slaton and Drake Thorn all singled.

Nick Mazzone had three of the Mets’ hits and Fred Thomas singled.
