Sparked by a six-run second inning, Bothell High had no trouble with the Mariner Marauders in a 12-2 win at home on Saturday.

Starting pitcher Brian McAfee led Bothell’s offense by going 3-for-4 with a double, triple and three RBIs.

Contributing to the Cougars’ efforts were Michael Marriott, Gene Watson and Kevin Knapp, who each notched two hits.

The win improved the Cougars to 3-0 in nonleague play to start the season.

Inglemoor also played Mariner last weekend, on Friday afternoon, and like the Cougars, defeated the Marauders, 12-2, with the help of a big second inning.

After falling behind 2-1 after the first frame, the Vikings batted around for seven runs to break the game wide open.

For the Vikings, Marc Dickerson and Adam Mosebar both went 3-for-4 with two RBIs, two of Mosebar’s hits being doubles.

Catcher Ethan Yeo went 2-for-2 with a pair of RBIs, and pitcher Conor Savage pitched two innings of shutout ball for the win.

The win improved the Vikings to 2-1 on the year.
