HOLCOMB, Kan. – After dropping a couple of tough games to Garden City to open the season, the TMP-Marian baseball team went back to Southwest Kansas Tuesday to win their first two games for new head coach Aaron Breit. The Monarchs defeated Holcomb 11-7 and 16-0.

TMP (2-2) led 5-0 after four and a half innings in the first game but needed a three-run seventh to take control after the Longhorns rallied with a four-run fifth.

Brady Kreutzer and Brandon Karlin both drove in two to help Carson Jacobs to the win.

Jacobs struck out nine with one walk. He then then hit a three-run homer and drove in six runs in the second game which was called after four by run-rule.

Colby Dreiling struck out five with no walks while allowing only one hit over three innings for the win.
