Last night, with 570 in attendance at the Salt River Fields in Talking Stick, the Scorpions blanked the Rafters by an 8-0 final count.
Adrian Houser (0-1, 3.00) took the loss, surrendering two runs over his three inning start.
The only Marlin in action for the game was shortstop Peter Mooney, who batted eighth in the order. He grounded out to first baseman Billy McKinney to lead off the third, grounded out 6-3 to end the fifth with nobody on base, and lined out to third baseman Taylor Sparks to open the eighth inning.
