Marmion bands together, beats Batavia on Will Matthews’ run

By Beacon-News

Marmion junior Jon Young, who is a Batavia resident, was looking forward to Monday’s nonconference game against Batavia.

Young wasn’t still on the mound when the Cadets pulled out a wild, 6-5 win in 10 innings, but his pitching helped put Marmion in position. He tossed eight solid innings and was in the dugout when Will Matthews scored on an error in the bottom of the 10th.
