Martin County Slugs Its Way Past Treasure Coast

Four of Martin County’s 14 hits went for extra bases as the Tigers visited the Treasure Coast Titans and came home with a convincing 9-3 win. The Tigers got their bats cracking early, scoring four runs in the first inning. After two quick outs, they sandwiched a walk between a pair of base hits, setting the table for Griffin Roe’s run-scoring double into left field for the 2-0 lead. Gavin Melians brought the next two runs in with a line drive into center field in the next at-bat.

A pair of lead-off singles by Chris DeMayo and Case Howell translated to another Tiger run in the next inning thanks to an RBI single by Matt DiNenna. DiNenna went on to record a 3-for-5 night at the plate with a run scored and two batted in. DeMayo went 2-for-3 and his RBI triple in the third scored Melians to run the Tigers’ lead to 6-0. They made it 7-0 when DeMayo’s courtesy runner scored on a balk later in the inning.

Anthony Martens singled home Jordan Salerno in the fifth to put the Titans on the scoreboard. They added two more unearned runs in the the seventh and were paced at the plate by Sebastian Martinez who had two hits in his four at-bats.
