Nothing comes easy for these Huskies as they took 12 innings to top Freehold twp in the first round of the MCT.
All three facets of the game were on display as Matawan used diving catches in the outfield by Jackson Hercek and Derek Jordan to save runs. The infield turned 3 double plays
Starting pitcher Jake Burlew hurled 6 innings of one run ball followed by Sophomore Chris Gendi’s first varsity win who followed Burlew with six shut out innings of his own.
Hercek went 3-6 and Tom Collazo went 3-5 but the big blow came off the bat of Mike Trapani who laced a double into the gap with 2 outs scoring Antonio Martinez from first base to win the game.
