LAST TIME OUT
Montclair surged past Manhattanville in a doubleheader sweep on Sunday, March 24.

The Red Hawks took the lead two frames later on an RBI single to center field from JASON MOORE. Manhattanville pushed to take the lead in the eighth, scoring three markers, but Montclair staged a rally in the bottom of the frame to regain the advantage. With the score tied at five, Kaliske drove in two runs on a single, and REECE MALEK later capped off the surge with a three-run home run. The victories marked the sixth and seventh straight for the Red Hawks against the Valiants.
