Bubba Pugh had four RBIs on three hits, and Jaden Guidry had six strikeouts in the first game for St. Maries (1-8, 1-1 IML). Brad Anderson also doubled twice in the opener.

"We were able to take advantage of some early mistakes," St. Maries coach Craig Tefft said. "Jaden (Guidry) threw a lot of strikes for us today and had good command of his pitches. He did a really good job of giving our defense opportunites behind him."

In the nightcap, Joe Bren had two hits for Kellogg (3-4, 1-1), and St. Maries stranded 16 runners.

"We had the bases loaded several times today," Tefft said. "We just couldn't get a hit when we needed it. It was real tough today."
