Scott Boley had two of those hits, including a home run, while Sean Boley (2 doubles), Josh Varno (double, 3 RBI), Shawn Placie (double) and Matt Helmstetter (double, triple, 2 RBI) added two hits apiece as well.
Against Troy, St. Marys broke a 4-4 tie with the game-winner in the bottom of the eighth inning. Varno picked up the win on the hill while Alex Fuerst, Craig Long and Helmstetter each had two hits. In the tourney finale, St. Marys scored three runs in the second inning, one run in the third inning and two more runs in the fourth inning before holding on for the 6-4 victory.
