James Anderson pitched all seven innings in the Mules 3-1 win against Napavine.

"Hats off to Rainier," Coach Marc Niemeyer said. "They brought the lumber today. We didn't string any clutch innings together for run production. We had a really hard time slipping on the turf about 10 times. That didn't help us either."

On Tuesday, the Mules hosted Napavine and won 3-1.

Anderson pitched all seven innings. He faced 25 batters, struck out 14, and allowed two hits and one run.

Chance Cothren went one for three with a double. Brown went two for four and drove in one run. Brody Carlson added an RBI.

"Napavine is a good defensive ball club," Coach Niemeyer said. "They made some great plays. We couldn't muster anything together. Another real solid performance by Anderson on the bump. Tristan Collupy did a nice job behind the plate with zero passed balls."

The Mules are now 4-1 for the season.
