South Plainfield 11, Metuchen 0
 
Rob Gonzalez combined with Brody Donovan on a seven-inning no-hitter as the Tigers tamed the red-hot bats of the Bulldogs, who had an eight-game winning streak snapped.
During that winning streak, Metuchen (11-5) scored 88 runs, an average of 11 per game.
Gonzalez hurled five and two thirds innings before reaching the NJSIAA maximum 110 pitches. He struck out eight, walked five and hit a batsman. Donovan hurled the final one and a third innings.
Billy Keane went 2-for-3 and Ashwin deGroot went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and three RBI. Gonzalez helped his own cause with a two-run homer in the third when South Plainfield scored six times to build a 7-0 lead.
South Plainfield (10-9) rebounded from a series sweep, having been outscored 5-2 in back-to-back losses to Woodbridge.
Connor Adams delivered two RBI. Chris Shine scored twice. DeGroot crossed home three times.
