Delbarton 3 Bergen Catholic 2

We’re nearly at the end of the first month of the season and New Jersey’s elite teams are starting to come into focus. The Green Wave and Crusaders have been some of the best and these two non-public powers clashed Friday afternoon.

Jack Harley went 2-3 with an inside-the-park home run and 3 RBI to lead Delbarton (11-3) at the plate, while freshman southpaw AJ Saccento went five strong innings with six strikeouts for the win.

Bergen Catholic (11-2) played a great game. The Crusaders got a nearly ironclad effort from senior right-hander Jack Duffy, who pitched a complete game in the loss. The highlight of the day for Bergen Catholic was a perfectly executed 4-6-3-2 triple play in the sixth inning.
