No. 7 Wall 10, St. Rose 5

Senior Max Kaplan (2-for-4) drilled a solo home run and a two-run double to help spark a come-from-behind win for the Crimson Knights over the Purple Roses, which jumped out to a 5-2 lead.

Kaplan's solo blast was one of three Wall homers, with junior Andrew Fischer (1-for-2) crushing a two-run shot to open the scoring and junior Nick Lovarco (2-for-4 with a double and two runs) connecting on a game-tying two-run homer to tie the score at 5-5.

Junior Jerry Winchester also went 1-for-3 with a double for Wall.

No. 3 Red Bank Catholic 2, No. 5 Toms River North 0

Senior Shane Panzini fired a two-hit shutout with 14 strikeouts and two walks and the Caseys scratched across enough offense to beat the Mariners.

Senior shortstop Sean Ettore broke a scoreless tie with a one-out RBI single to through the right side in the top of the fifth to plate freshman Sean Griggs. RBC added an insurance run in the top of the seventh on a two-out RBI single by Anthony Borriello, which also chased home Griggs. The freshman leftfielder reached base in all three of his plate appearances.

Senior shortstop Nick Mortellito singled off Panzini to lead off the game and the only other hit the Mariners mustered against the Virginia commit was a bunt single by senior centerfielder Zach Goodale. RBC did not commit an error behind Panzini and two of the four Toms River North baserunners were wiped off the board by sophomore catcher Shane Andrus, who hosed two would-be base-stealers - including Goodale at third as the tying run in the sixth inning.

Panzini's fastball velocity clocked in at 96 miles-per-hour on multiple pitches during the first two innings and sat at 92-to-93 from innings three through seven with the occasional 94.

Toms River North senior Brandon Valles limited Red Bank Catholic to a pair of runs on six hits over seven innings while walking one and striking out five.

Jackson Liberty 4, Raritan 3 (8 Innings)

Junior R.J. Vashey knocked in classmate Garrett Drew with the game-winning run on an RBI single in the top of the eighth and the Lions rallied for a road win over the Rockets to open the season.

Jackson Liberty tied the game in the top of the seventh on a one-out RBI single by senior Jake Hickman to score junior Nick Conti, who walked and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by senior Dan Keenan.

Keenan earned the win with two perfect innings of relief, during which he struck out four of the six batters he faced.

Raritan plated all three of its runs in the bottom of the fifth on errors by Jackson Liberty on back-to-back plays with two out in the inning.
