since 1989, won their first championship by
rallying from a 4-1 deficit in the last three innings. David Scirrotto had an RBI single
in a three-run fifth
and a two-run single in a three-run sixth. The run that broke a 4-4 tie scored on a passed
ball. Matt Sestito
also had hits in each of the three-run uprisings. The momentum swung when third baseman
Jeff Colon
made an outstanding play on a grounder to end the fourth and keep Northeast's lead from
expanding to 5-1.
Mario Malatino, on two days' rest, toughed out a 10-hitter and went the distance.
Northeast had runners at
second and third with one out in the home seventh when Malatino induced a popout and
groundout to end
it. Ken Wlodarczyk went 3-for-4 with a double, triple and one RBI. Starting pitcher Ryan
Zastowney had
a two-run single. Northeast committed six errors to none for GAMP. GAMP, which had just 11
players in
uniform (10 percent of the school's male enrollment), won its four playoff games by six
runs total.
