Northern Burlington 11, Toms River East 0 (5 Innings)
Senior right-hander and Rowan University commit Luca Mannino pitched a five-inning no-hitter and Rutgers commit Cole Marchetti ended the game last of three home runs by Northern Burlington as the Greyhounds run-ruled the Raiders to march on to the Group III championship game for the first time since 2015.
The only base-runner to reach for Toms River East came on a wild pitch on a third strike, which allowed Matt Ferrara to reach with two out in the top of the fourth inning. Mannino then struck out the next batter for his fourth strikeout of the inning. Mannino then struck out the side in the top of the fifth to end his day with seven consecutive strikeouts.
Toms River East senior right-hander Mason Pentz kept the powerful Northern Burlington offense at bay through three innings, using double-plays to get out of the both the first and second innings before wiggling out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the bottom of the third with a strikeout and a fly ball to rightfielder Lucas Melton.
Northern Burlington broke the scoreless deadlock in the bottom of the fourth, starting with a leadoff walk by catcher Liam Velit, followed by a hit-and-run by Jimmy Musser that set the Greyhounds up with runners on the corners and none out. Nick Filipponi then broke the tie with an RBI double to right-centerfield to plate a run and put runners on second and third with none out.
Pentz bounced back with a strikeout for the first out and Brent Walulak followed with a fly ball into centerfield that freshman centerfielder Carson Frazier appeared to have a beat on. Frazier, however, ran out of room and Walulak’s fly ball cleared the centerfield fence for a three-run homer and a 4-0 Greyhounds lead.
Pentz recorded one more out in the inning before Jonathan Pallman came on to finish the inning with a strikeout. Mannino responded to the run support by striking out the side in order again in the top of the fifth.
Velit roped a two-run homer two batters into the bottom of the fifth for a 6-0 Northern Burlington lead. Liam Scallon came on and recorded two outs before freshman Jaden Freeze singled home Filipponi to make it 7-0. Nick Drombowski beat out an infield single for another RBI hit and after he stole second base to put the game-ending run in scoring position, Marchetti made Dombroski’s trip home easy with a three-run blast to right-centerfield.
Northern Burlington will take on defending Group III champion Morris Knolls Saturday in the group championship game in Hamilton.
