Shortstop Drew Cannon and centerfielder Luke Lonczak each went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI and senior right-hander Glen Popes turned in a complete-game effort on the mound as the Caseys snapped a four-game losing streak by clawing past the Lancers and into the sectional quarterfinals Tuesday at No. 2 St. Augustine.

Junior Michael Knox drove in runs in three different innings, capped by a two-run home run in the top of the fifth inning and the Colts bats backed senior left-hander Danny DiTullio as he pitched CBA past the Vikings, into the sectional semifinals Tuesday at No. 1 Immaculata.
Knox singled home a run during CBA’s five-run first inning and lofted a sacrifice fly in the top of the third to extend the lead to 6-0. His two-run blast in the fifth inning was an opposite-field home run to rightfield.
Junior Ryan Wetmore opened the scoring with a two-run single and senior Parker Hughes extended the lead to 5-0 with a two-run single later in the inning. Junior second baseman Dylan Reynholds also contributed a sacrifice fly in the fourth.
DiTullio navigated seven hits to complete six innings and win his fifth game of the season while remaining unbeaten on the mound for CBA, which has won 10 in a row.

(4) Ranney 13, (5) St. Rose 0 (5 Innings)
Jake Abrams tossed four shutout innings with three hits and no walks and combined with Ricky Lopez to lead a relentless offensive attack that carried the Panthers to a one-sided win over the Purple Roses. Ranney advances to the sectional semifinals Tuesday against the winner of Thursday’s quarterfinal between No. 1 Gloucester Catholic and No. 8 Princeton Day.
Lopez went 4-for-4 with a two-run single in the second and a bases-clearing double in the fourth to compile five RBI. He singled and scored the game’s first run on another single through the left side by freshman Brody McCorkle in the bottom of the first, then punched a two-run single to right field to plate two runs with two out in the bottom of the second, making the score 3-0.
Abrams delivered two-out, two-strike, two-run single in the bottom of the third for his second hit of the game and a wild pitch later in the inning allowed the sixth Ranney run to score.
Lopez capped a seven-run fourth with a double to the base of the left-centerfield fence that scored three more runs with two out in the inning. Eleven of Ranney’s 13 runs in the game crossed the plate with two out in the inning.

S.J. Wall and Matt Galayda homered in back-to-back innings early in the game and senior left-hander Matt Colaneri shut down the bats of the defending sectional champion Raiders to propel the Jaguars into Friday’s sectional quarterfinal round, which Jackson will host vs. No. 15 Franklin.
Wall connected on a solo home run to give Jackson a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second and Galayda launched a two-run shot in the bottom of the third to extend the lead to 3-0.

Central Jersey Group II
(12) Raritan 2, (5) Delran 0
Senior left-hander and Boston College commit Will Meehan pitched a no-hitter with one walk and 16 strikeouts to lead the Rockets to a round-one win on the road over the Bears. Raritan advances to the sectional quarterfinals Friday at No. 4 Wall.
Meehan took a perfect game into the sixth inning and lost that bid on an error leading off the top of the inning. After a pair of strikeouts, the Rockets ace then issued his first walk with two out to put the tying runs aboard, but bounced back with his third strikeout of the inning. Meehan then close out the game with a pair of strikeouts and induced a ground out to shortstop Bear Evernham for the final out.
It took Meehan 95 pitches to no-hit Delran and 70 of them were strikes. Through five innings, Meehan sat at only 58 pitches before Delran made him throw 37 over the final two to finish off the no-hitter.
Raritan put the first run of the game on the board in the top of the third, which started with a leadoff double by Dylan Hernandez. After a sacrifice bunt by Eric Finne and a strikeout, Antonio Lamberti came through with a line drive into leftfield for an RBI single to score Hernandez.
Eric McCartney added to the lead with a solo home run leading off the top of the seventh inning.

Raymond Pena hit a go-ahead grand slam in the top of the third inning and the Indians never looked back, scoring eight unanswered runs to knock the Rebels from the tournament and reach the sectional semifinals at No. 2 Eastern on Friday.
Winning pitcher Kelwin Batista hit an RBI double in the top of the first and later blasted a three-run home run in the top of the sixth that grew a 5-3 lead to 8-3. Howell’s lone run-scoring hit was a two-run run single by Derek Liotti that gave Howell a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the second.

South Jersey Group III
(7) Mainland 7, (10) Lacey 0
(3) Toms River East 6, (14) Hammonton 3
Jayce Cappello delivered two-run singles in both the fourth and sixth innings and Logan Macchia pitched five one-hit innings of relief to help the Raiders rebound from a three-spot by the Blue Devils in the top of the first by advancing to the sectional quarterfinals Friday vs. No. 6 Shawnee.
Cappello drew a walk and scored the first Toms River East run on the back end of a first-and-third stolen base attempt, which was successful on the part of Lucas Melton stealing second base. Chase Caswell then knocked in Melton with an RBI ground out to pull Toms River East within 3-2.
Trevor West settled in on the mound for Hammonton and retired the first two batters of the bottom of the fourth before the Raiders rallied. West hit catcher Dominik Sabatino with a pitch, Jonathan Pallman singled and Joey DiMeo walked to load the bases for Cappello, who came through with a single into centerfield to plate both Sabatino and Pallman.
Pallman bunted for a hit in the sixth and held at third on a double by DiMeo before Cappello drove them both in with his second two-run single to centerfield.
Macchia took over mid-batter with a runner already on in the top of the third and went on to walk that batter, as well as the next one to load the bases. He then induced a pop-up on the infield for the first out, got the second out at the plate on a ground ball to third base that Michael Mendes threw to Sabatino for the force, then ended the inning to a fly out to Caswell in left.
After surrendering a one-out single in the top of the fourth, Macchia retired the last 11 batters he faced to close out the victory.

Jaden Geremia lashed two two-run doubles as a part of a four-hit day with three doubles and the Indians (17-9) rolled to a round-one win over the Tartans (16-10), earning them a trip to play top-seeded Clearview Friday in the sectional quarterfinals.
Geremia opened the game with a single, then stole both second and third bases before scoring on a sacrifice fly by Christian Mascaro. He then ripped a two-run double in the second to make it 3-0, which became 4-0 after a sacrifice fly by Andrew Schmidt. Geremia legged out another double in the top of the fourth, which also included an RBI single by Schmidt to extend the Toms River South lead to 5-1.
Geremia doubled home two more in the top of the fifth to push his team’s lead to 7-1. Logan Sowa doubled and scored on a pinch-hit double by Jake Gallagher in the sixth and the Indians tacked on another in the inning on an RBI single by Evan Schmidt to go up 9-2.
