Class A North

No. 9 Middletown South 6, No. 6 Howell 1

Senior Ben Schild homered in each of his first two at-bats on the way to a five-RBI game and the Eagles upended the Rebels to snap their second three-game losing streak during the early part of the season.

Schild belted a three-run home run in the top of the first inning -- his first round-tripper since he homered in Middletown South's NJSIAA Central Jersey Group IV win over Hunterdon Central as a sophomore in 2021. The UConn commit then slammed a solo shot in the top of the third and later added a sacrifice fly in the sixth to cap his five-RBI performance.

No. 1 Ranney 10, Neptune 8 (8 Innings)

Senior Lou Spadafora delivered a clutch, two-out, two-run single in the top of the eighth inning and classmate Diego Tavarez closed out an extra-inning win for the Panthers over the upset-minded Scarlet Fliers.

Neptune took two different leads during the first four innings, surging in front, 6-4, with a four-run second inning and pulling in front, 8-7, with two in the fourth. Senior Quincy Esannason ignited the four-run rally with an RBI double and two Ranney errors opened the door for the final three runs of the second.

Senior Brennan Moloughney gave Neptune an 8-7 lead with an RBI single in the bottom of the fourth.

Ranney tied the game in the top of the sixth with a sacrifice fly by senior Jack Tallent. Spadafora drove in a run in both the first and fourth innings with a bases-loaded walk and a ground out, giving him four RBI for the game.

After Ranney put up three runs in the top of the first, Neptune answered with a two-run double by senior Joe Juliano, who also pitched 4 1/3 strong innings of relief before ultimately taking the hard-luck loss.
