Senior lefthander Pat Boyle hurled a complete-game six-hitter and third-seeded South Plainfield rallied from a three-run deficit.
The Tigers (18-5) will face J.F. Kennedy at 2 p.m. on Saturday in the semifinals at East Brunswick Tech.
The 11th-seeded Falcons took a 3-0 lead in the top of the third inning on Brandon Bielak’s three-run homer over the left-center field fence.
South Plainfield trimmed the deficit to one run in the bottom half of the inning on A.J. Celantano’s two-out, two-run single through the box. The Tigers took the lead for good with two runs in the fourth inning. Boyle scored the tying run on a bases loaded error. Aidan McDermott, who fouled off two two-strike offerings, was hit by a curveball in the dirt with the bases loaded to force home the go-ahead run.
South Plainfield tacked on insurance runs in the fifth and sixth innings on Jeff Pellegrino’s RBI single and Nick Muglia’s sacrifice fly.
Anthony Teixiera went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored for the Falcons. Mike Ramirez and Nick Johnson each had a single, accounting for St. Joseph’s other hits.
