Class A Central

No. 8 Wall 7, Monmouth 1

After allowing a run on two hits on the first two batters of the game, senior right-hander Zach Szatkowski did not allowed a hit, walk or hit-by-pitch the rest of the way as the Crimson Knights pulled away for their second win over the Falcons in as many days.

Szatkowski retired 21 of the final 23 batters he faced, with the only three to reach doing so on Wall errors.

Junior catcher Jake Howlett starred at the plate, driving in each of Wall's first four runs. He singled home the tying run in the bottom of the first and gave Wall a 2-1 lead in the third with another RBI single Howlett capped his big day at the dish with a two-run home run to make it 4-1 in the bottom of the fifth.

Senior Matt Johnson capped the scoring with a three-run double in the bottom of the sixth.

Toms River East 3, Brick 2

Freshman Lucas Melton singled home senior Jake Verdon with the winning run in the bottom of the eighth and the Raiders walked off with an opening-day win over the Green Dragons.

Verdon and classmate Ryan Ushock led off the bottom of the eighth with back-to-back walks and winning pitcher Gavin Toth sacrificed both ahead one base to pass along the game-winning RBI opportunity to Melton. The freshman came through with his first career hit and RBI to give Toms River East the victory.

Toms River East battled back from a 2-0 deficit to push the game to extra innings. Junior Ryan Koman doubled home a run in the bottom of the fifth to cut the Brick lead to 2-1 and Toth tied it up with a sacrifice fly in the sixth.

Sophomore Peyton Horning drove in both runs for Brick, the first on an RBI groundout in the second inning and the second on an RBI single to make it 2-0 in the fourth.

No. 7 Jackson Memorial 6, Toms River North 4

Senior third baseman Charlie Meglio cracked a go-ahead, bases-clearing double in the top of the sixth inning and the Jaguars survived a back-and-forth battle with the Mariners on opening day for both teams.

Toms River North stormed ahead, 4-3, with four runs in the bottom of the fifth -- all with two out in the inning. Senior Ty Kazanowsky got the Mariners on the board with an RBI single and senior Evan Kwortnik followed with a go-ahead three-run home run to put Toms River North on top, 4-3.

Junior Nick Izzo ignited the sixth-inning rally by Jackson Memorial with a leadoff single and with one out, senior Matt Koblos singled, followed by a walk to sophomore Tyler Huzzy to load the bases. Meglio then roped a go-ahead, three-run double to left to cap the scoring.

Fifth-year senior Dean Daddio took over for left-handed senior starter Anthony Mehmet in the bottom of the sixth and fired a pair of shutout innings to nail down the save.

Toms River South 6, Brick Memorial 5 (8 Innings)

Senior Chris Clark plated the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eight inning and the Indians survived a seventh-inning comeback by the Mustangs to prevail with the victory on opening night.

Toms River South starting pitcher Chris Hastings led off the inning with a walk and sophomore Anthony Johnson reached on a bunt single before junior Rob Abatemarco sacrificed the two runners to second and third. Clark then ended the game with a sac fly to center.

Brick Memorial made the eighth inning necessary with a four-run rally to tie the game in the top of the seventh inning. Junior Nicco Maribo hammered a two-run double to cut the deficit in half, 5-3, and Mustangs starting pitcher Brady Leach pulled his team within one with an RBI single.

With one out, senior Joey Nolan ripped a game-tying RBI double, but Toms River South senior and winning pitcher Ryan Schmidt came on to wiggle out of trouble and send the game to the eighth tied, 5-5.

Manchester 3, Jackson Liberty 3 (Darkness)

Junior Jack Kanis hit a game-tying RBI double with one out in the bottom of the 11th and after the third out of the inning the game was called due to darkness.

Junior Evan Palmer highlighted a two-run sixth inning for Manchester with an RBI double, which broke a scoreless deadlock.

Sophomore Mike Kisseberth then doubled and scored on an RBI single by freshman Carney O'Donnell to get Jackson Liberty on the board in the bottom of the sixth. Kissebeth then came through with a two-out, game-tying RBI single in the bottom of the seventh to send the game into extra innings.

Kisseberth cruised for the first 2 2/3 innings of his relief appearance before mounted a go-ahead rally. A leadoff error started the threat and a single by senior Luke Walters chased junior Patrick McKay to third with none out. Kisseberth got a strikeout for the first out and Manchester coach Dave Beauchemin called for the squeeze, with senior A.J. Ramirez dropping down the successful bunt to score McKay.

No. 5 Donovan Catholic 3, Point Boro 2 (9 Innings)

Junior shortstop Joe Maier drew the fourth of four straight walks in the bottom of the ninth, forcing home the winning run and giving the Griffins an opening-day win over the Panthers.

Point Boro starting pitcher Bryson Kirby gave the Panthers a 2-0 lead with a two-run home run to centerfield in the top of the fourth, but Donovan Catholic answered with two of its own in the bottom of the inning to even the score. Junior Dave Yorke singled in senior Gavin Degnan and scored on the back-end of a double-steal with runners on first and third.

Point Boro prevented further damage by Donovan Catholic in the fourth thanks to left-fielder Shane Ryan, who fielded a single by Griffins junior catcher Hunter Johnson and threw out sophomore Tyler Levine attempting to score from second base.

Panthers junior catcher Wyatt Dewysockie hung in to field Ryan's throw and apply the tag -- one of several crucial plays in the game by the Point Boro backstop. Dewysockie threw out 4-of-5 Donovan Catholic players attempting to steal and made a back-handed pick of a pitch in the dirt with Degnan on third base in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Senior John Grana earned the win with a scoreless ninth that included a pair of strikeouts -- one of which came after he issued a two-out walk for the only baserunner of the inning. Junior left-hander Jake Marciano struck out six in three scoreless innings in relief of left-handed starter Shaun O'Keefe, who had a run of five straight strikeouts to highlight his eight-strikeout performance.
