Class A Central
Wall 7, Monmouth 2
Triur Brown, Jake Howlett and Mike Horowitz each cracked two-run doubles and sophomore left-hander Christian Suarez turned in his second straight solid outing to start his varsity career as the Crimson Knights paid the Falcons back after losing to Monmouth in the bottom of the seventh on Saturday.
Brown opened the scoring with an RBI double in the bottom of the first and after Evan Booth hit a solo homer to cut Wall's lead to 3-1 in the top of the sixth, Howlett and Horowitz each wrapped two-run doubles in the bottom of the inning to put the game out of reach.

Down to its last out and with two runners on in the top of the seventh, Jackson Memorial tied the game with a walk by Nick Izzo, hit-by-pitch by Tyler Huzzy and a game-tying RBI walk by Jacob Soto.

No. 4 Southern 6, Toms River South 2
Senior right-hander Roger Dreher dominated for 5 1/3 innings and Jack Cahill worked out of a seventh-inning jam to close out a Rams win over the Indians.
Dreher struck out 14 while allowing just two hits and one walk on 79 pitches before turning it over in the bullpen. Cahill took over with the bases loaded, none out and Southern leading, 6-1, in the bottom of the seventh and after striking out the first batter he faced, Billy Madigan singled home another run for Toms River South.
Cahill then responded with back-to-back strikeouts to finish off the win.
Brian Harper, Mike Kaczynski and Tyler McLeod each singled home a run in the first inning for Southern and Gabe Tomei doubled home two runs to put the Rams ahead, 6-0, in the top of the fourth.
