Triton Baseball Wins Opener Over S.B. Riley

SOUTH BEND – Six Triton Trojans scored at least two runs, and Max Slusser drove in three runs in Triton’s 16-2, five-inning win at South Bend Riley in a non-conference baseball game Friday.
Senior Zac Pitney pitched the first four innings, allowing no runs and striking out five. Dylan Hensley didn’t allow an earned run in his one inning of work in a non-save situation.
