GAME ONE BOX SCORE
Game 1 saw the Deacons put up all their runs in the 1st inning with 2 outs on the board. Senior Dominique Parra (Bronx, NY) got the opening inning action underway with Bloomfield's first hit of the contest. Parra would later score on an error by the Devils shortstop on a fly ball in the outfield. Juniors Shadi Azar (South San Francisco, CA) and Juan Hilario (Bronx, NY) would also cross the plate before the inning ended and the Deacons had all the runs they would need with right-handed pitcher Lucas Junger (Waretown, NJ) on the mound. Junger (2-1) scattered 2 runs and 6 hits across 8 innings of work and struck out 10 batters. Sophomore reliever Kyle Murzyn (Glassboro, NJ) came on in the 9th inning to close the door on USciences and pick up his third save on the season.

In Game 2 action, the Deacons found a way to answer the Devils at each turn eventually leading to Meola's walk-off finish. Usciences got on the board first in the opening inning of the game with a sac fly off of Deacon starter Allen Rivera (Vineland, NJ) to go up 1-0. Bloomfield would answer in the bottom of the inning when Cardone came across the plate to knot the score at 1-1. The Devils tacked on two more runs (3-1) in the 2nd inning only to be answered in the 4th inning by Bloomfield (3-3). Both CACC teams put up a run in the 6th inning (4-4) and then the Deacon bullpen shutdown the USciences bats, not allowing a single hit for the next three innings. Cardone stepped to the plate in the bottom of the 11th and hit a double to right center that set up the game ending heroics. He would advance to third on a wild pitch just before Meola's single brought him home. Senior reliever David Martinez (Staten Island, NY) picked up the win (1-2) going 3 solid innings giving up 3 hits.  Meola went 2-for-4 during Game 2 with the all-important RBI. Parra and Cardone both hit doubles in the second game, as PJ finished the contest 2-for-5 and Dominique went 1-for-4.
