Al Kunzman Memorial Ocean County Tournament
Championship
At Central Regional
(3) Toms River East 3, (1) Brick Memorial 1
Matt Ferrara tied the game with a home run in the third inning and broke a tie in the sixth inning with a two-out RBI single, setting the stage for senior right-hander Dan Nafziger to finish off a complete game as the Raiders topped the Mustangs to win their second straight Ocean County Tournament championship.
Joey DiMeo slammed a double to the leftfield fence with one out in the top of the sixth inning and reached third base by tagging up on a fly-out to centerfield by catcher Gavin Toth. With first base open and Ferrara already 2-for-3 with a home run, Brick Memorial opted to pitch to the University of Pittsburgh commit. Ferrara made the Mustangs pay by jumping on the first pitch from sophomore left-hander Zach Pirnik and ripping it through the left side to score DiMeo for a 2-1 Toms River East lead.

An intentional walk would not have yielded a better return for Brick Memorial, as both Nafziger and Mike Vaccarino followed with singles, with Vaccarino’s line drive into leftfield scoring Ferrara from second base.
Brick Memorial struck first on an RBI single by Mike Figner in the bottom of the second inning, but Toms River East answered in the top of the third with his second homer of the season — a shot that cleared the leftfield fence by approximately 40 feet.
In the bottom of the seventh, Luke Douglas stroked a two-out, two-strike single to centerfield to keep Brick Memorial’s hopes alive. Leadoff hitter Brody Moore then fouled off two two-strike pitches, but Nafiziger pulled the string for a slider that got the swing-and-a-miss and the game-ending strikeout.

RBC responded with two runs in the bottom of the sixth on back-to-back RBI singles by Dylan Passo and Max Dantoni, but Sesha dug in for an inning-ending strikeout to strand the tying runs on base.
