The Marauders baseball team started the season in a most idyllic way, but the team has a lot of work to do to be ready for the tough schedule ahead of them, according the Head Coach Bob Young.

Mingus Union [1-0] won its first game of the season, beating the Sedona Red Rock Scorpions [0-1] on Friday, Feb. 22, at Patterson Field. The Marauders ended the game in five innings after scoring their 10th run and keeping the Scorpions scoreless.

“Pitching did well,” Young said. “I was a little disappointed offensively. We were a little slow early in the game, but we picked it up. That is to be expected early in the season.”
