THE LEADERS
•
David Preziuso (Selbyville, Del./Caravel Academy) led the Bullets with four hits on the day, including the leadoff roundtripper in the ninth inning of game one for his third hit of the game.
FOR THE FOES
• Harry Genth had three hits, three runs scored and two RBIs in the twinbill to lead the Fords.
THE REST OF THE STORY
•
David Preziuso led off game one with a single before a
Robert Murphy (Berkeley Heights, N.J./Governor Livingston) single put runners at the corners. Preziuso scored while Murphy got caught in a rundown for a 1-0 lead.
• A two-out
Will Stellato (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Warde) home run to right field made it a 2-0 game in the second.
• After a one-out Mauro DeCillis single, stolen bases, groundout and balk made it 2-1 in the bottom of the second, an
Emmanuel Ajewole (Floral Park, N.Y./Stony Brook School) walk coupled with an error and Stellato sacrifice fly pushed the advantage back to 3-1 in the fourth.
• Harry Genth made it 3-2 with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the inning.
• The Bullets extended the lead to 4-2 in the seventh with a DeCillis two-out single followed by a Matt Dahl double and Daniel Rosman two-run single tied the game in the bottom of the eighth before the Preziuso led off home run in the ninth for the eventual winning run.
• Long balls from Genth in the first and Kyle Beach in the second staked Haverford to a 2-0 lead in game two.
• Stellato led off the sixth inning with a double before a sacrifice bunt and
Alexey Stout (Wall, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) sacrifice fly made it a 2-1 game.
• A Genth bunt single, stolen base and two wild pitches stretched the lead to 3-1 in the seventh before Dahl led off the eighth with a triple. He then scored on a Jack Wallis sacrifice fly for the final margin.
