Tony Gandolfo hit a two-run triple in a three-run ninth inning for Northern Highlands (No. 16, 14-12) in the semifinals of the state North Jersey, Group 3 Tournament in Wayne. Nick Hoy ripped a one-run double in the bottom of the seventh as Wayne Valley (No. 12, 17-10) knotted the game at 4-4. Gandolfo, who also earned the win, retired the next batter with runners on first and third.

"The game could have been over in the seventh," said Valley coach Jeff Hoover, a Northern Highlands graduate. "But that's baseball. I'm still proud of my guys. We had some solid hits."
