Class A North
No. 9 Freehold Boro 2, No. 1 CBA 1
Senior right-hander Steve Rullo pitched a complete-game, four-hitter with seven strikeouts and no walks to improve to 3-0 vs. CBA in the last two years and deliver the Colonials a win over the Colts.
After CBA took a 1-0 lead in the second inning, Freehold Boro struck for its two runs in the bottom of the fourth. Nick LaMorte pulled the Colonials even with an RBI double and Phil Marcantonio put the home team in front with a sacrifice fly, leaving Rullo and Freehold's error-free defense to do the rest.

CBA senior catcher Brandon Martorano hit a double in the first inning for his 100th career hit.
