Grand Lake catcher Brian Suerdick, left, places the tag on Lima's Tom Howard during a play at the plate in the sixth inning of their Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League game on Wednesday evening at Jim Hoess Field. If Howard would have slid on the play, he would have been safe and Lima would have had another run, but he never slid and was called out. It took 11 innings, but the Mariners beat the Locos, 4-3, for the fourth time this season in the series sweep.
