In the losers bracket M.L. had to face Mullica again.But this one started much different with Tyler Thompson leading off the game with a base hit up the middle and stealing 2nd base.

Quinn Hardrick led off with a base hit followed by Tyler Thompson with another base hit which led to Danny Smith hitting a double to drive both runners in . Kenny Merlock singled and started another string of hits by M.L. Danny Smith got the start on the mound and pitched solid , but Brick twp kept creeping up until in the bottom of the 4th brick twp hit a 3 run home run. Tyler Thompson came in to finish the game on the mound for the next 2 innings. We got solid hitting by James Townley going 2-3 and lot of singles by other M.L. players but it was not enough . Brick Twp went on to win 8-5.

                 Mays Landing would play  the next day at 3pm. against Waretown. Kenny Merlock got the start and pitched 5 innings allowing only 2 hits.

And Steven Damiano , Danny Smith and Tyler Thompson all held down the infield. Mays Landing went on to win 12-2.

                  Mays Landing would play the next day Sunday at 10 a.m. With us having a long 2 hr ride, I was worried about the kids being tired and it seemed to show. We took on Marlton and once again got out on top first with 1-0 in the first inning. Quinn Hardrick led off with a single and then stole 2nd base . That led to Kenny Merlock hitting a single to drive in Hardrick. Tyler Thompson got the start in this one on the mound . Marlton dropped a couple of base hits in by hanging in there on Tylers curve ball and stole a few bases,  and before you knew it the score was 6-1 Marlton. Danny Smith came in to pitch and got us out of a tough inning. Mays Landing  never quit , being down 7-1 I reminded them how much game was left. Next inning we got a lead off walk and a nice infield base hit b u nt by Tyler Thompson. That loaded the bases for Danny Smith and just like he's done twice before this all-star season, Danny Smith hit a Grand Slam Home run to cut the lead to 7-5. It seemed like what we needed but Marlton never stopped the aggressive base running style and added to the lead. I am proud of our kids, They never quit , in the 6th James Townley hit a 300 ft Monster Home run and Frankie Mazzeo drove a hit into center but it just was too late.  Marlton won 14-6. Mays Landing had a great run and finished 7th SNJ, and as a coach I couldn't be prouder of them. I told these kids to set goals before this season and it showed that they set them very high .

MAYS LANDING (14-15'S) WIN CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
