 IN SHORT

Par Hills got into trouble early on Saturday, as poor fielding led to an 8-0 deficit after two innings. The Par Hills’ offense was stifled by Madison starting pitcher Mike Wallace, producing just two runs on six hits.

VIKING OF THE GAME

Stephen Fichter—The first baseman went 2-for-3 with a single, double and two RBIs.

OTHER KEY PERFORMANCES
Mike Comerford (Parsippany Hills), 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base; C.J. Joyce (Parsippany Hills), 1-for-3 with a single and a run scored; Mike Wallace (Madison), threw a complete game, allowing six hits while striking out eight.

THEY SAID IT
“[Madison’s] a very good team and [Wallace] was on. He was tough to hit, he kept the ball down in the zone real well. We had a couple of opportunities here and there and we didn’t capitalize on them. The difference was the first two innings. You can’t start a game down 8-0…I’ll tell you what, I love the character of this team. They fight and they fight and they fight, and I’m really happy that they didn’t let down at all, being down 8-0 and I’m proud of their effort.”—Head Coach Ray Santana
