STATE PLAYOFFS, FINAL
CLASS 2A
At Penn State
Neumann-Goretti 7, Bishop McCort 4: A five-spot in the first inning
turned out to be sufficient as the Saints beat the same opponent for a second
consecutive state championship and became the first school in PIAA history to
seize crowns in both basketball and baseball in back-to-back school years. Lefty
Phil Sanborn, working on three days' rest, pitched the first 4.1 innings and
soph Joe Messina went the rest of the way to earn the save. McCort scored once
in the seventh and had the bases loaded with two away when Messina humped up for
a three-pitch strikeout; the Crushers stranded 13 runners in all. Eric Nardini
and Sanborn lined RBI singles in the first after Brian Reynolds drew a walk to
plate the first run. A throwing error off Nardini's single allowed two more runs
to score. Two fifth-inning runs were notched thanks to wild pitches. Sanborn and
Jared Healey (double) halved four hits.

CATHOLIC LEAGUE PLAYOFF
FINAL
At Immaculata University
Neumann-Goretti 6, Wood 4: Under first-year coach Mike
"Zoom" Zolk Jr., the Saints won their second consecutive championship, third in
four years, fifth in seven years and sixth in nine years (under four coaches).
Also, this title was the 10th for N-G and its predecessors, tying the
league mark of now-closed North Catholic. Zoom's father, Mike, was
the boss in '12, one year after Zoom started at second base for a title squad.
This season began with two losses in league play and this game did not start
well as Wood, with help from two errors, posted a three-spot in the top of the
first. Again, N-G bounced back, scoring thrice in the bottom half thanks mostly
to Brian Reynolds' two-run single. It claimed the lead for good, at 5-4, in the
third on two wild pitches that followed a lengthy delay; catcher John "J.R."
Gifford was struck in the neck by a bouncing pitch and had to be taken
to nearby Paoli Hospital. Senior lefty Phil Sanborn, a first-year
varsity pitcher, wound up going the distance, allowing six
hits and fanning seven. Two Ks were racked up in the sixth after the
Vikings loaded the bases with one away. Jared Healey went 3-for-3
with a double and scored twice. For Wood, Antonio Rossillo posted two hits,
including a double, and two RBI.

Neumann-Goretti 4, Ryan 0: George Mascuilli allowed four hits in 6.1
innings and Joe Messina completed the shutout as the Saints became the first CL
team to earn a spot in the championship game for a fourth consecutive year since
Judge made five visits from 1963 through '67. Steve Pizza bagged two of his
three RBI off a single in a three-run first and R.J. McGettigan went 3-for-3.
