Christian Brothers Academy 3 Middletown South 1 | Monmouth County Tournament Semifinal
Chris Levonas worked out of a early first inning trouble and went six full innings allowing just one run, walking none and striking out 12 and Jaxon Sevilla’s two RBI game led the Colts to the Monmouth County Tournament final and a matchup with rival Red Bank Catholic next week. Levonas gave up three hits in the first and a run but locked in after that in front of 30 MLB scouts.
