Bryan Cruse hopes every outing could go as well as Saturday, as Cruse threw seven scoreless innings to carry the Licking County Settlers (9-10) to a 3-1 victory over the Grand Lake Mariners at Don Edwards Stadium.

Justin Palmbos (2-1) took the loss for the Grand Lake Mariners (13-5). He lasted just seven innings, walked three, struck out two, and allowed three runs.
