Pirates even series with 4-0 win Saturday

The Tradewater Pirates shut out the Marion Bobcats Saturday to even the season-opening series 1-1 behind a strong pitching performance by starter Ryan Tabor (0-1) and reliever Wesley Clingman, who Friday night gave up the tying runs that allowed Marion to win the game in extra innings. 

Bobcat starter Nathan Ball (0-1) went six innings, giving up only one unearned run, but was saddled with the loss.
