In Edison's 1-0 win in the second game, senior right-hander Aaron Satterfield scattered three hits and didn't allow a run in five innings in a pitching rotation that also saw senior Jason McLellan and juniors Noah Kronfly and Michael Mahony take the mound. Pinch hitter Wyatt Bersch started the ninth with a double and scored the winning run on a single by junior Nick Mailman.
The Chargers also won the consolation championship of the Loara Tournament.
"We have been playing consistently well thus far in all phases of the game, especially on the mound and defensively," Edison Coach Cameron Chinn said. "If we can get big hits with runners in scoring position, we should be able to give Marina a good game."
