Colonia 8, South Plainfield 4
 
Anthony Demeo, who had the game-winning RBI in each of his team’s last two outings, helped the undefeated Patriots win their fifth straight with a triple and a single.

After the Tigers scored twice in the home fourth to trim a four-run deficit in half, Frank Lehmann delivered a clutch two-out, two-run single to rebuild Colonia’s lead.

First baseman Jason Hilenski went 3-for-4 for Colonia, while teammate Lou Matten, the No. 8 hitter, collected a pair of opposite-field singles.

Winning pitcher Nick Nielsen fanned five and scattered seven hits over six innings. Connor Adams had two hits for South Plainfield (2-3), which dropped its third straight.
