"All our hard work has paid off, it's good to come out and swing the bats like we're capable of playing," said Sehome coach Monte Walton. "We came out aggressive and that was the goal today to come out aggressive against a competitive Red Raider team."
The offense was well spread out for Sehome. Makana Grondin was 2-for-3 at the plate with 2 runs , a walk and 3 RBI's. Patrick Miksovsky 2-for-2 , a double, a stolen base, a walk and 3 runs scored.

We knew they're a city rival, so we're coming out jacked and amped and we've been kind of practicing coming up up with an aggressive approach to start the game and that kind of transitioned through the entire lineup, said shortstop and leadoff hitter Trevor Seaholm, who went 1-for 3 with 3 walks, an RBI and 1 run scored.
The senior co-captain was happy his team was able bounce back and break their 4-game losing streak.
"It's huge because we know we're going to keep the momentum rolling as we go into tomorrow night and then into our first league game on Friday," said Seaholm.
Tyler Reynolds pitched the final 3 innings for the Mariners to pick up the victory. The senior registered 4 strikeouts while giving up just one run on 3 hits.
