Monmouth County Tournament - Bracket

Championship

At FirstEnergy Park, Lakewood

No. 1 CBA 4, No. 2 Red Bank Catholic 0

Luca Dalatri pitched a one-hit shutout with 15 strikeouts on three days of rest and the Colts beat the Caseys to win their third straight MCT title and eighth overall. CBA is the first team to win three consecutive Monmouth County titles.

Dalatri also tripled home a run in the bottom of the sixth and finished the game 2-for-2. Nick Hohenstein doubled home the first CBA run in the bottom of the second after RBC starter John Poccia hit Dalatri to lead off the inning.

CBA went up 2-0 when Cid Porter singled on a hit-and-run with two out in the fifth and Luke Chece scored from first when the ball got past right fielder Mike Spinelli. Kenny Campbell capped the scoring with an RBI single to right field in the sixth.

Dalatri allowed just two baserunners in the game - one on a hit by No. 9 hitter Pat Leonard in the top of the third and the other on an error with two out in the seventh. RBC third baseman Aaron Ahn blasted a long foul ball with more than enough distance for a solo home run in the fourth, but the ball hooked foul. Dalatri struck Ahn out with a fastball on the next pitch.

It took Dalatri 96 pitches to complete his one-hitter, 70 of which were strikes. He went to one three-ball count all game long, which was ended in Leonard's single. He stranded both baserunners on second base to end the third and seventh innings.
