Against Memorial, Mike Elia (pictured above) fired a complete game five-hitter and had three hits to lead Wayne Valley (22-5). John Anthony Pizzi's two run home run in the bottom of the 6th inning highlighted a three-run inning and snapped a 1-1 tie. Anthony Simone had two hits and knocked in the other run. Mario Palos homered and Victor Guzman doubled for Memorial. Losing pitcher Steven Acosta allowed just one run in the first five innings.
