Thurs. S.J. boys’ and girls’ roundup: Winslow takes title

Two clutch hits by Nick Barnstead allowed Winslow Township to bring home the trophy from the Touchstone Energy Baseball Tournament in Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

The Eagles (9-4) wrapped up the three-day competition late Wednesday night, claiming the title with a 5-4, nine-inning thriller over Oak Ridge Academy (N.C.).

Barnstead singled in John Raczka to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh. After Oak Ridge scored a run in the top of the ninth, Barnstead lined an 0-2 pitch for a game-ending, two-run double with one out in the bottom of the inning.

Raczka and Brian Squibb scored on the walkoff hit, making a winner of reliever Dave Robey. Jon Gonzalez hit a two-run homer in the first inning for Winslow.

Colonial. Mike Wasienko's bases-empty home run in the fourth inning sparked Haddon Heights' 6-1 victory at Overbrook.

Mingo Bay Classic. Paul VI's third win in four games in Myrtle Beach, S.C., was a 19-5 rout of St. Edmund's (N.Y.), in which the Eagles belted three homers. Tyler Keen, Ned Kerr, and John MacAuley (six RBIs) accounted for eight runs with home runs. Keen also earned the pitching win.

Mike Miniconzi's first-inning grand slam was the key hit for Highland in a 6-2 triumph over First Assembly (S.C.).

Stephanie Heresniak drove in Brielle Pietrafesa with the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, as Paul VI avenged Monday's loss to Timber Creek by edging the host Chargers, 4-3.

Melissa Swain singled twice, and pitcher Victoria Farrell went the distance for the win for the Eagles (3-5), who have gone 2-2 over the last four days and are scheduled to visit Winslow Township on Friday.
