Not only did Marshall shut his team's opponent out with a 1-hitter, in the top of the fifth inning he hit a long triple that knocked in senior catcher TJ Whitman, who scored W-H's first run all the way from first with a headfirst slide on a close play.

Then with 2 outs, senior Jack Allen came up and lined a 2-strike single to left to score senior Sam Figueiredo, who had come in to run for Marshall, for Whitman-Hanson's second run.
