Monroe 4, South Plainfield 3
Last season, CJ Wisnieswki earned four saves.
Friday, he showed he’s a pretty good starter, too. The senior righthander didn’t allow an earned run in six innings and allowed three hits with five strikeouts as Monroe earned the Red Division win.
The Falcons scored three times in the bottom of the fifth to take a 4-2 lead. South Plainfield rallied in the seventh with two runs, but Monroe held on.
The defending co-division champs with St. Joseph graduated a chunk of its roster from that championship team.
Enter players like Wisnieswki, who are ready for an expanded role. In 2021, he struck out 19 in 19 innings with a 1.87 ERA. On a windy day, he allowed five walks, but minimized damage.
Offensively, Aidan Lane went 3-for-4 with a run scored and Trevor Wallace was 2-for-3 with two runs scored.
Lucas White had a hit and drove in a run, while Nick Sellari and Kyle McCauley each laced hits. Stephen Passucci scored in the win.
For South Plainfield, the defending White Division champs who moved into the Red this season, Luke Bickunas had a hit and RBI and Zack Robinson went 3-for-3 and scored. Ty Dukoff also scored and walked twice.
