IN SHORT
Kinnelon Starting Pitcher Ryan Price struggled, allowing seven runs and 14 baserunners in 5 2/3 innings pitched. Vikings starting pitcher Jimmy Grawehr only allowed one run and four hits while striking out three batters before leaving in the fifth inning due to a shoulder injury. The Colts got two runs in the bottom of the fifth after shortstop John Mamary's two-run double to make the score 4-2, but the Vikings responded with three more runs in the top of the 6th. The Colts could not garner up a rally in the their final turn at bat in the bottom of the seventh and were eliminated from the County tournament.

THEY SAID IT
"We're gonna keep it real simple, we just gotta keep on playing hard and we're gonna practice tomorrow. We gotta tough undefeated Hackettstown team coming up, then Whippany and [we'll] probably pick up another game on Saturday. We plan on playing a lot of games. Our goals were to get a home game in the county tournament and now the state tournament."–Head coach John McDonald
