CHANNING — After winning their Superiorland League season opener last week, the Marquette County Mavericks were dealt their first loss of the year Monday night, 4-3 to the Channing Railroaders.

Channing got on the scoreboard first in the bottom of the opening frame when Kyle Sexton scored on a base hit. MC answered back though in the top of the second as Sam Prentice’s single brought home C.J. Lepisto and Jacob Adriano.

The Railroaders tied things up in their half of the second on a RBI single from Sexton and then scored two more runs in the bottom of the third to go up 4-2. The Mavericks cut their deficit to one in the fourth when Adriano scampered home and in the sixth inning, MC had the bases loaded, but couldn’t take advantage and tie things up.
