Page A10 - Clare County Review/Marion Press - June 4, 2021 Marion splits with Eastern to win WMD title by Ben Murphy Sports Writer Runs were hard to come by in Marion’s key West Michigan ‘D’ League doubleheader at Ma- son County Eastern on Wednesday, May 26. The Eagles dropped the opener 1-0, but bounced back to win the nightcap 3-2, giving them the confer- ence championship. “I think everyone is proud of the accomplish- ment and especially with how we won it in such a close game,” head coach Chad Grundy said of the program’s first league title since 1998. In the opener, the contest was tied 0-0 into the sixth inning, but MCE managed to scratch across an un-earned run to walk-off with the win. Chase Seeley was the tough-luck losing pitcher, as he pitched all six innings and gave up one unearned run on four hits, four strikeouts and two walks. “Their pitcher was lights out all night and Chase matched him the whole game,” Grundy said. In game two, the contest was tied 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth. Aadin Yowell reached base on a walk and stole the next bag to reach second. Seeley attempted to bunt Yowell over to third, but a throwing error allowed him to come all the way home for the walk-off win. Mason Salisbury was the winning pitcher, as he tossed six innings and gave up one hit and struck out seven. Salisbury also had an RBI double.
