true 1 | true 2 (Sewell, N.J/St. Augustine) was all GM needed to start the day off right. GM had just four hits in that first inning, keyed by a two-run triple from senior John Burns (Levittown, Pa./Neshaminy) and a two-run single from junior Eric Heaney (Ambler, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham).

Rakus scattered eight hits and two earned runs over six innings to improve to 4-0 on the season.

Sophomore Mike Marchitto (Voorhees, N.J./Eastern) added three hits and three RBIs. He hit his second home run of the week, a solo shot, in the fourth.

Game two saw another six-run frame, this time in the fourth, turning a one-run contest into a 7-0 lead. Senior Dante Cassano (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East) provided the offense, cranking a grand slam in that fourth inning to hit the 100 career RBI mark. He becomes the ninth player in program history to eclipse the century mark in runs batted in.

Starter Rick Elfreth (Washington Twp., N.J./St. Augustine) went six scoreless innings, fanning seven while yielding five hits and four walks. The seven K's were one shy of a personal-best.

The Griffins (9-6, 3-0 CSAC) play at Rowan on Tuesday in their next contest with a 3:30 start.
