Marlins down Dodgers

Matt Deaner struck out seven Dodgers during the first four innings of

play and the Marlins went on to win their Majors Division opener at

Ocean View Little League with a 3-1 victory.

Deaner also allowed the Dodgers just one hit and one run scored,

which came on a passed ball in the fourth inning.

He received strong defensive support from Karl Baranov, Garrick

Danner, Victory Herrera and Jacob Schmidt.

Deaner also delivered the first run of the game, a low-line triple

down the right field foul line that scored Derek Hintz, who got on

base via a line-drive double to the right-centerfield gap.

The score stood at 1-0 until the fifth, when Cameron Mahdad walked

and Alden Mathews singled. That set the stage for Jared Shaft, whose

single scored Mahdad.

Mathews later scored on a passed ball to compete the Marlins’

scoring.

Brandon Holland pitched in relief for the Marlins, and struck out

six.
