First baseman Kiyota Gomi (Dobbs Ferry-Ardsley '08) had a big day, as in the first game, he had 2-5 in batting, scored 2 runs, and had 2 putouts, prior to his taking over the pitching chores for the final 2 innings, where in he allowed no runs, no hits, and walked 2 batters in the 12-0 win.

In game 2, an 11-5 win, he went 1-2, scored 2 runs, had 1 r.b.i, drew 2 passes, and made 7 putouts at first base. Facing Luther of Decorah, Iowa there on the 18th, in the 4-3 loss, Gomi had no hits, gained first on a fielder's choice, and subsequently scored a run in the 3 run first inning.
