Cadillac's offense was firing on all cylinders from the start. Scoring one in each of the first three innings and then three more in the 5th.
The Lions finally got on the board in the 3rd inning after the Seth McGowen single. Newaygo's bats started heating up in the final two innings as they plated four in the 5th and four in the 6th.
Russell Toth was credited with the win for the Lions, moving to 2-0 on the season. Toth gave up six runs, and ten hits over 5 innings of work. Remy Wells picked up the save for the Lions coming in relief of Toth in the 7th inning.
