Starter Jacob Marquez struck out a season-high 13 over seven impressive innings and the middle of the Colt 45s lineup delivered throughout the night as they topped the visiting Ringtails 10-1 Friday night.

Marquez improved to 5-5 on the season, going 7 innings, allowing six hits – including two doubles and a homer to Ringtails catcher Wilson Kessel – allowing one run and striking out a season-high 13 with no walks. Kyle Schroedle pitched two scoreless innings of relief to finish the game.
Cleanup hitter Tanner Tweedt was 3-5 with 2 RBI and 3 runs scored. Behind him in the order, Daniel Duarte was 3-5 with 3 RBI, 2 runs, including his second home run of the summer.
