Robert Murphy (Berkeley Heights, N.J./Gov. Livingston) and

Jack Pistner (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) single to right scored Laqui and Murphy for a 2-0 lead.
• In the fourth, Laqui walked with one out before taking second on a wild pitch, advancing to third on a balk and scoring on a wild pitch for a 3-0 advantage.
• An inning later, Pistner and
Will Stellato (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Warde) drew back-to-back walks to lead off the frame. A flyout moved Pistner to third before a double steal stretched the lead to 4-0.
• Murphy led off the sixth with a double before a Burke walk. A one-out Pistner triple stretched the lead to 6-0 before a Stellato sacrifice fly set the final margin.
