In their opening game, the Marshals faced off against the Bowling Green Stingrays. The team came out swinging, putting up an impressive 7 runs in the top of the first inning. The Marshals maintained their momentum throughout the game, securing a dominant 13-2 victory.
Their second game was against the Owensboro Stingers, a talented and well-matched opponent. Both teams battled hard, and the game ended in a 6-6 tie due to a rain delay that halted play.
