ST. MARYS — Host St. Marys scored in every inning of an 11-3 win over Warren on Saturday at Berwind Park.

“Much better in different spots,” said Warren coach John White, whose Dragons fall to 0-2, “(but) we’re not where we need to be fundamentally and it shows.

“Our outfield did a much better job going to get the baseball today,” said White. “Our pitchers did a great job filling the zone and hitting spots. Tage (Wyman) did a great job for us on the mound. He pounded the zone and did everything he was supposed to do as a pitcher, but our defense let him down today. When you have eight errors, that turns into easy rallies and extra hits and pitches that a starter wouldn’t normally throw.

“Offensively, we had another great showing as far as getting on base, working the count, and playing gritty baseball at the plate. We didn’t capitalize in big spots and had a few spots where we let the umpire dictate the outcome and took a few too many on the corners in big spots,” he said. “I mean, we left 27 runners on base. If you have 32 baserunners in a game…, you would usually expect to win the baseball game. Even the backwards Ks came after absolute battles at the plate. We saw 208 pitches in the varsity game — that’s just straight grit at the plate.”

Warren was caught stealing three times.

“All in all, we lost the freebie war,” said White. “We lost 11-3. They had zero errors, we had eight. Correlation is absolutely causation. Like I told the boys, we can’t dwell on it; we need to look back and fix it for the next game.”

Warren catcher and leadoff hitter Eli Snyder continued his hot start to the season. He was 2-for-3 and reached base four times.
