Don Bosco 12 Bergen Catholic 1 (5 innings)
The No. 1 ranked team in New Jersey secured an early season series sweep against their arch rivals on Wednesday afternoon.

Michael Staiano and Allen Hernandez paced the offense with three-RBI days apiece. The Ironmen defeated Bergen Catholic (4-4) on Monday at West Point to help lock up the sweep.
