South Plainfield 8, Sayreville 1: Chris Shine’s three-run double highlighted a five-run rally in the sixth inning when the Tigers built a 7-0 lead to put the contest out of reach.

Billy Keane followed Shine’s hit with an RBI double of his own. Sayreville’s Jayson DeMild answered with an RBI double in the top of the seventh to produce the final margin.

Leadoff batter Roberto Gonzalez, a transfer from Dickinson, went 2-for-5 with a two-out RBI single in the early going for the Tigers. Newcomer Connor Adams, who went 2-for-4, was the only other Tiger with a multiple-hit game.

South Plainfield built a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning, scoring one run on an error out of a first-and-third situation and plating another on Mike Stanczak’s sacrifice fly.

Winning pitcher Jean Sapini fanned 10 over five innings and allowed just one hit. Gonzalez and Dylan O’Connor each hurled an inning of relief.
