The Marshals put 11 runs on the board in the first inning on their way to a 5-inning 20-3 Senior Night win over Hickman County on 18 hits. Ty Buchmeier came up big at the plate going 4 for 5 with a couple of singles, double, home run and five RBI’s. Buchmeier’s 3-run home run came in the second inning while Jordan Riley hit a solo home run in the fourth inning.
