Rumson-Fair Haven 3 St. John Vianney 2 | Shore Conference Tournament Quarterfinal

Brian Doherty’s base hit to left gave the Bulldogs a walk-off win in a game that took two days to complete.

Due to rules in the Shore Conference Tournament and no score, the game was reset back to the beginning on Saturday. RFH took a 2-0 lead on an RBI double by Charlie Tallman and a John Bruno solo homer before SJV answered with two runs in the 5th highlighted by an Antonio Kurtz RBI triple. John Goodes went seven innings to pick up the complete-game win. RFH will face rival RBC in the Shore Conference Tournament semifinals on Tuesday.
