NJSIAA Tournament

Sectional Championship

South Jersey Non-Public A

(1) CBA 11, (2) Red Bank Catholic 1 (5 Innings)

Sophomore Dylan Reynholds and senior Dan Russo each delivered a three-RBI extra-base hit and junior right-hander Dylan Iwanyk singled home a run in CBA’s eight-run first inning before firing four strong innings as the Colts routed the Caseys to win their first South Jersey Non-Public A title in 10 years.

CBA sent 12 batters to the plate in the bottom of the first inning and one time through the order, the Colts had five runs on just one hit — an RBI single by Iwanyk that made the score 2-0 after the first run scored on an errant back pick from RBC catcher Aiden Funk.

Russo dropped down a bunt to score the third run of the first inning, with courtesy runner Nick Pascucci racing across home plate before RBC freshman starter Sam French could flip the ball home for the tag. French retired the next two batters to move within an out of escaping with a 3-0 deficit, but Jared Matejicka extended the inning with a walk and an error both extended the inning and plated the fourth run.

After Will Fahey drew an RBI walk to make it 5-0, RBC went to junior Glen Popes on the mound. Reynholds immediately greeted Popes with an opposite-field double that one-hopped the leftfield fence and cleared the bases for an 8-0 Colts lead after just one inning.

Popes settled the game down for RBC with scoreless frames in both the second and third innings and the Caseys scratched a run across in the top of the third when senior Dylan Passo singled and scored on an RBI single by junior Jake Frankel.

In the bottom of the fourth, however, CBA’s bats went back to work. Reynholds led off with a single for his second hit of the game, followed by a walk to catcher Dan Tsimbinos. After Iwanyk flied out to centerfield, Russo got a 2-0 fastball and smashed it over the leftfield fence for his first career home run — a three-run job that extended the CBA lead to 11-1.

With a 10-run lead, Iwanyk had a chance to end the game with three more outs in the top of the fifth, but loaded the bases with a hit-by-pitch, double by RBC junior Charlie Stumberger and a walk. CBA coach Marty Kenney Jr. turned the game over to senior right-hander Shane Langan, who proceeded to strike out three straight batters to strand the bases loaded and clinch the win for CBA.

RBC had at least one base-runner in every inning vs. Iwanyk, including a runner in scoring position in every inning after the first. Iwanyk got out of a first-and-second, none-out jam in the second with a pair of strikeouts, followed by an inning-ending fielder’s choice ground out. In the top of the third, he limited the damage to one run by striking out the side around three base-runners.

Iwanyk strike out the side for a second inning in a row in the top of the fourth, which helped him deny the Caseys a run after No. 9 hitter Luke Scaturro walked with two out and advanced to third on two wild pitches.

CBA will play for its first overall state title since 2015 on Wednesday night against Don Bosco — the same program CBA beat to win the 2015 championship. First pitch is set for 7 p.m. at DeMeo Field in Veterans Park, Hamilton Twp.
