Monroe defeated Saline, 13-4, Wednesday to complete the Trojans' three-game sweep of the Hornets.
Saline has lost five straight games since a 2-0 start to the season. The Hornets are 0-3 in the SEC Red.
Erratic fielding bogged down the Hornets, who made four errors. Eight of Monroe's runs were unearned. But Monroe also had 19 hits on Saline's pitching.
Sophomore Matt Mareno took the loss. He gave up six runs (two earned) on nine hits and no walks while striking out four through four innings on a windy afternoon at Saline High School. Zach Fidh pitched 1 1/3 innings, giving up four runs (one earned) on five hits. Ian Furlong pitched 1 2/3 winnings and gave up three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out 1.
Monroe led 1-0 before a 5-run fourth. Saline got two back in the bottom of the fourth. Mack Notar singled to leftfield. He scored on Ian Furlong's double to center. Cade Tousa singled to drive in Furlong.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Hornets chipped away at the Monroe lead. Kriss Sydlowski doubled to right and Hunter Easton followed with a double. Jackson Conley flew out to to right to score Sydlowski. Notar singled to left to score Easton. Saline was down 6-4.
Monroe replied with five runs in the sixth and two in the seventh to take control of the game.
Notar went 3-for-4 with an RBI and run scored. Sydlowski and Tousa each went 2-for-3. Furlong, Jackson Muir, Easton and Roman Laurio also had hits.
Sunny, with a high of 84 and low of 55 degrees. Sunny for the morning, clear overnight.
Would urge the city to NOT privatize the Rec Center or sell it.
Ali. There is a reason you don’t understand. You choose not to. Investing in our seniors health and wellbeing is much more important than investing in a recreation center that has continued to lose money and only serves a small portion of our city’s community.
We are seniors and fully familiar with both facilities. Perhaps what is not understood is the number of seniors who use the Recreation Center, in particular the aquatic center as arthritis for many of us means water is one of the few ways we can exercise. Many of course also use other areas of the facility.
EDIT: The Saline American Legion was a sponsor for this event, supplying the food for guests. SASC is grateful for their continued support.
Kudos to The Saline American Legion. They have been a consistent contributor to the SASC. Seniors in our community have earned and deserve the benefits that the senior center offers. Great work!
