A good start for the TMP-Marian baseball team as they pick up a pair of run-rule wins over Scott City in their season opener.

The Monarchs, who lose just one player from last year’s 15-7 squad, won game one 24-0 in three innings then took game two 18-5 in six innings.

TMP is off until next Tuesday when they travel to Garden City in the middle two games of their six-game road trip to start the season.
