As the visitors, Mariners stepped up to the plate first.

Michael Vine got the hitting started, then both Kai Meuronen and Brenton McMahon were struck by pitches loading the bases.

A passed ball allowed Mariners to strike first - disappointingly it was the only run produced this inning.

The Mariners were in strife early, before starting pitcher Bailey Biden struck out Graeme Miller on three pitches.

The Mariners continued their hot form, to run out winners 15-2.

Special mention to Kai Meuronen and Gabe Tate who had six RBIs between them.

Both struck out Berkeley powerbat Vince Pleski.

Hits went to Lee Lawson (two), Michael Vine (two), Kai Meuronen (two), Brenton McMahon (two), Gabe Tate (two), Marcus Atkinson (two), Bailey Biden and Dan Kelly.

Smart batting saw Mariners on base and sneakily stolen bases added another three runs to the total.

The hosts started strong taking an early lead with a nice triple base hit from Bruce Jones bringing in three runs.

From there, another solid innings from Mariners extended the lead.

With the game slowly getting away from the Warriors, they started on their fight back.

Two strong innings from the Warriors - with the highlight being a hit to left field by Jayden Goodair - allowed them to claw their way back into the game.

Then with a number of unfortunate calls not going the Mariners way and their bats going quiet, it added to the challenge.
