Monmouth County Tournament

(17) Howell 4, (8) Raritan 3

Aaron Wojenski hit a two-run single in the top of the second and Braden Walsh followed with a two-run double in the top of the third as the Rebels scored early and hung on to beat the Rockets, advancing to the first round of the Monmouth County Tournament.

Raritan mounted a major threat during the bottom of the fourth, when the Rockets scored three runs on consecutive no-out singles by Matt Zweidinger, Alan Warren and Travis Evernham. With the bases loaded, Rohan Shan struck out the next batter, induced a pop-up for the second out and tagged Zweidinger out at home when he attempted to score on a wild pitch for the final out.
