Monmouth 10, Shore 9

Monmouth did all of its scoring in the third and fourth innings to erase two different deficits, then hung on to beat the Blue Devils behind two scoreless innings from Alejandro Ocelotl to close it out.

Ocelotl played a role in the comeback as well with a single to keep the line moving during a six-run third inning for Monmouth, followed by an RBI double that capped a four-run fourth and put the Falcons ahead, 10-8.

Joe Alfano hit a go-ahead two-run single in the bottom of the third to give Monmouth a 5-3 lead. Shore tied the game, 6-6, in the top of the fourth on a three-run home run by Andrew Barham. The Blue Devils then grabbed the lead on a two-run single by Cole Stefanelli.

Bobby Davidson pulled Monmouth even in the bottom of the fourth with a two-run single to make it 8-8 and Brandon Geiger worked a bases-loaded walk to force home the go-ahead run later in the inning.

Manasquan 10, No. 7 Ranney 8

J.D. Teza hit a two-run double in Manasquan's six-run first inning and allowed one hit over four innings as the Warriors survived five homers by five different Ranney players in a win over the Panthers.

Connor Voelkson opened the scoring with an RBI single and Matt Koenig delivered one of his own to make it 2-0. Teza then smacked his two-run double to make it 4-0 and after a passed ball scored Koenig with the fifth run, Luke Ramire capped the rally with another RBI single.

Ranney cut into the lead in the bottom of the third on a solo home run by Brody Garguilo and a two-run blast by Ryan Costello to shrink the deficit to 6-3. Manasquan responded immediately with a sacrifice fly from Dylan Vowteras, followed by another RBI single by Voelkson to put the Warriors up, 8-3, in the fourth.

After two more insurance runs in the top of the seventh, Manasquan appeared to be in the clear, but Ranney mounted a furious rally, again sparked by the long ball. Andrew Parisi got it going with a two-run shot to cut the Manasquan lead to 10-5 with one out. Costello followed with a single and Curtis Chropuvka then launched a two-run homer to make it 10-7.

Greyson Testino made it back-to-back homers by following Chropuvka's dinger with a solo shot to make it 10-8 with one out. Ranney brought the winning run to the plate with runners on second and third and two out, but Vowteras came through with a clutch strikeout to end the game.
