Ocean County Tournament

Round of 16

(4) Toms River South 4, (13) Manchester 3

Junior Mike Erli and senior Gavin Migliori each had RBI extra-base hits in a four-run fourth and junior Chris Hastings stranded the bases loaded in the seventh to close out a win for senior starter Aidan Folsom and send the Indians (8-6) past the Hawks (6-10-1) in the OCT opener.

Hastings came on to start the seventh after Folsom fired six strong innings with five hits and three walks allowed while striking out five. The junior right-hander walked the bases loaded with a pair of strikeouts mixed in, then induced a game-ending pop out.

Manchester senior Mike Damato drove in all three Hawks runs on two home runs and walked with two out in the seventh to load the bases. Damato also started on the mound and took the loss after giving up the four runs in the fourth.

After Damato put Manchester in front, 1-0, on his first home run in the top of the fourth, Toms River South answered with the tying and go-ahead runs on RBI groundouts by junior Chris Clark and senior Colin Raimann. Erli then followed with an RBI triple and Migliori tacked on what proved to be the winning run with an RBI double.

Damato swatted his second home run of the game in the sixth -- a two-run shot to cut the deficit to 4-3.

(10) Toms River East 9, (7) Barnegat 4

The Raiders exploded for nine runs in the top of the first inning and the deluge was enough to bury the Bengals and advance Toms River East into the OCT quarterfinals against No. 2 Central.

Junior Bobby Sabatino led off the game with a double and scored on an RBI single by junior Jake Verdon to open the scoring. No. 9 hitter Kyle Healy later tacked on a two-run single during the rally, senior Akkash Santiago singled home a run and junior Ryan Ushock capped the rally with an RBI double.

Senior Anthony Musso was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Sajewicz walked on five pitches, which ended the day on the mound for Point Boro sophomore starter Bryson Kirby. Junior Matt Dewitte came on and issued a four-pitch walk to Pierce before finding the zone in time to notch an inning-ending strikeout and earn the Panthers a chance at extra innings.

In the bottom of the eighth, junior T.J. Marshall led off with a single and Lowden replaced him after bunting into a fielder's choice force-out at second base. The unsuccessful sacrifice did not matter, as Masino jumped on the first pitch he saw and launched it over the leftfield fence to score the winning runs.
