LAST TIME OUT
Montclair closed out its three-game series with Westfield State, winning the rubber match on Sunday by a score of 13-3. The Red Hawks (14-4) fell behind in the opening frame, as the Owls used a pair of singles to put runners on the corners with two outs. Back-to-back hits would plate a pair of runs to break the scoring open, with a bases-loaded walk driving in another tally to help the visitors build a three-run lead. Montclair pushed back in the home half of the second, as DANNY O'BRIEN led off the inning with a hit-by-pitch, and a walk from JOHN TOMSHO put a pair of runners on. After the pair stole bases to move into scoring position, DYLAN BRIGGS ripped a double into the gap to cut the difference to one. Later in the stanza, JARED LEVIS doubled to left field to bring in Briggs to provide the equalizer. Tomsho continued what would be a stellar day at the plate in the third, doubling to left center to plate BILLY TIGAR, who led off the inning with an extra-base hit of his own. In the following stanza, the Red Hawks broke the game open. Briggs, LUKAS EGENHAUSER, and Levis rattled off three consecutive hits to kick off the frame to load the bases. A wild pitch allowed Briggs to come home, and after the bases were loaded on a hit batter, Tigar increased the home lead to three on a sacrifice fly. With the bases still full later in the inning, O'Brien notched a sacrifice fly of his own to drive in another tally, with Tomsho hitting a single up the middle to bring in two more markers. MICHAEL WANSAW JR. would nudge Montclair into double-digits, plating Tomsho on an RBI single. The Owls threatened in the top of the sixth, loading the bases with only one out. JOE PACCIONE recorded a pair of strikeouts to halt the rally and maintain the lead at 10-3. Tomsho capped off his afternoon in the Red Hawk half of the inning, homering to left field to push Montclair to 11 runs on the day. Briggs drew a walk, and Egenhauser was hit by a pitch, as the duo stole second and third for Levis, who capitalized on a fielding error by the shortstop that allowed both runners to score. With the lead at 10 going into the seventh, PATRICK TEEHAN entered the game and retired the side to seal the victory and the series for the Red Hawks.
