EDISON — Cliff Wysinger homered and Pat Seitzinger pitched a complete game without allowing an earned run to help Salem CC win the opening game of Saturday’s doubleheader to clinch the series , but Middlesex bounced back to win the nightcap and salvaged a split of the day.
The Mighty Oaks won Game 1, 9-3. Middlesex took the nightcap 10-7 despite SCC’s Jason LeBold hitting two home runs.
The Mighty Oaks got off to another fast start in the series, opening a 7-0 lead after two innings of the opener and then put it in Seitzinger’s hands. He gave up just four hits and struck out four.
Trevor Hernandez had three hits and two RBIs for the Mighty Oaks. Wysinger, Jay Barber and Colin McLaughlin had two hits apiece.
They led the second game 5-2 after three innings, but the Colts erupted for five in the fourth to take the lead for good. LeBold went 3-for-3 in the game for Salem and he and Roman Hernandez both drove in three runs. J.J. Pankowski had a pair of hits.
“Pleased to have taken the series, but not satisfied,” Mighty Oaks coach John Holt said. “Played OK in Game 2. Didn’t play badly, but we could’ve done a little better.”
Wysinger took over the team lead in homers (five) with his blast in the first game, but LeBold caught him with his two in the nightcap.
