WAUSAU — The Marshfield baseball team grabbed its first victory of the season, using 10 walks to beat Wausau West 6-1 in a Wisconsin Valley Conference game Friday at West High School.

Scott Berg had two hits, and five different Tigers drove in runs in the victory.

Connor Jasurda tossed a complete-game four-hitter, striking out eight and walking four.

Marshfield (1-3, 1-1 Wisconsin Valley Conference) led 2-1 before busting the game open with a four-run seventh inning.

Logan Grunenwald was the losing pitcher for West (1-1 overall and WVC). He struck out 11 but walked 10.
