No. 7 Manasquan 8, Rumson-Fair Haven 7 (11 Innings)
The Warriors orchestrated game-tying rallies in the bottom of the both the seventh and ninth innings and won it when junior John Foreman's shallow fly ball dropped to score the winning run in the bottom of the 11th.
Forman hit a two-run double in the bottom of the seventh to cut the Rumson lead to 5-4 and Manasquan tied it on a sacrifice fly by junior Hayden Kunz.
Rumson grabbed the lead in the top of the ninth on a sacrifice fly by sophomore Thomas Elgrim and added an extra run on the same play thanks to a Manasquan throwing error.
The Warriors again responded in the bottom the ninth, with Pat Woodford singling home the first run and winning pitcher Alex Wells tying it with his pop-up that was dropped to score the tying run.
