How It Happened

• Susquehanna tacked on three runs in the fourth for a 4-0 lead as junior Peter Yarem (Scotch Plains, N.J./Scotch Plains-Fanwood) started the scoring with an RBI triple to score Roumes before Yarem crossed home plate on an RBI by sophomore Evan Knapp (Mountain Top, Pa./Crestwood). Senior Anthony Dombrowski (Pompton Plains, N.J./Don Bosco) notched the final run of the inning as Dombrowski scored on a passed ball after drawing a walk and stealing both second and third.
