St. Augustine 6 CBA 0 | Non-Public A South Final
Gatorade NJ Player of the Year Alex Weingartner followed up his heroics in the semifinal with a brilliant performance on the mound to guide the Hermits to their second sectional title in three years under head Coach Mike Ney. Weingartner, a Penn State commit, tossed a complete game two-hitter with nine strikeouts in his final home game. Old Dominion commit Brady Jackson had a pair of RBIs to lead the offense for St. Augustine (22-7). Defending sectional champion CBA (18-9) had an eleven-game winning streak end with the loss.
