[seq. Valley Final

 

Marion jumped all over M. Elliot in the first going up 5-1 but in the 3rd with 2 outs a hit and 2 walks gave hot hitting Coty Green a chance and he delivered with slam that tied it. Green also homered for a solo blast on a change at the ankles as Baylor took a 6-5 lead in the 4th but in the bottem Marion tied it at 6. Freshman Lucas Loyd held the hot bats of Baylor at bay from the 4th on but Baylor did manage to pick up one more in the top of the 7th that proved import. as the Warriors once again looked as though they would pull a win out in the last inning as D. Ladd got on with an E, he moved to second on a FC and scored on Kevin Laynes single to left. Layne move to second on wild pitch but with 2 outs Marion's hopes ended as Sowder flew out. Final Baylor 8 Marion 7. A couple players were injured for Baylor, we hope they are alright. This was good game that ended a week-end of good baseball at Marion, Sequatchie, Grundy Co. Congrats to Baylor and to Marion on a good Championship game.
