FIRST ROUND
   Ryan 8, Conwell-Egan 3: Tom Dolan pitched a five-hitter with nine strikeouts and went 2-for-2 with
a double and two walks. Pat Keegan, a late addition to the lineup (a tender knee had made him a question
mark), went 2-for-4 with three RBI. Andy MacDonald added two hits, one RBI, and Anthony Manes
went 2-for-3 with a triple and two runs scored. C-E's Gary Stricker went 3-for-4.
   Bonner 9, Kennedy-Kenrick 3: Randy Milia struck out 10, took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and
finished with a two-hitter. Nick Condo went 2-for-3, walked twice, reached base in all five plate
appearances and scored twice. Paul Cashin slammed a three-run homer. Kevin Horning went 3-for-4
with an RBI and scored twice.

SECOND ROUND
   Ryan 11, Wood 8 (8 inn.): The Raiders scored two in the visiting seventh to tie as Anthony Manes drew
a bases-loaded walk and George Higginson smacked a run-scoring single to left. Andy MacDonald (double)
and Nick DiEnno (single) had RBI in the eighth. Tom Dolan, coming off a complete game one day earlier,
pitched two scoreless innings for the win. For Wood, which collected 16 hits, Dan Mueller went 4-for-5
with two doubles and an RBI.
   Bonner 9, O'Hara 0: Like Randy Milia the day before, Kevin Horning took a no-hitter into the sixth
inning and finished with a two-hitter. Mike Shalon, the No. 9 hitter, slammed a two-run homer to highlight
a four-run second. Tim D'Orazio went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI. Paul Cashin went 2-for-3 with a
walk and two RBI.

SEMIFINALS
   Carroll 5, Ryan 3: Frank Gailey struck out eight in a six-hitter while receiving support from Anthony Altomare (2-for-3, RBI), John Gardner and Ryan Stewart (both 2-for-4, RBI). An error that capped a crazy, controversial play gave Carroll a 4-3 lead in the fifth. Stewart's RBI single added insurance in the
sixth. Anthony Manes had a two-run single for Ryan.
  La Salle 17, Bonner 5: The Explorers coasted after scoring three in the first and six in the second. Dan Waters fanned 11 in 5.1 innings and had a two-run single in the first. Chris Ladley's inside-the-park homer and Kevin McLoughlin's three-run double fueled the second-inning outburst. Pat Riley went 2-for-4 with
three RBI. Bonner's only RBI came on a bases-loaded walk.

JUNE 5
FINAL
   Carroll 16, La Salle 0: Mike Costanzo went 4-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, a homer to centerfield and five RBI (one off the game record) as the Patriots claimed their fifth title in seven years. John Gardner went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and a homer for two RBI. Dave Omlor (three) and Chris Cashman
(two) also had multiple RBI. Frank Gailey pitched a three-hitter with one walk and six strikeouts. He also went 3-for-5 with a double. Carroll scored five unearned runs in the first inning.
