Monroe 6, St. Joseph 5 (8 inn)

Sure, smacking home runs are nice. Monroe, though, simply wants to make contact and put pressure on the defense. If the Falcons can do that with their top-line pitching and strong defense, they’re going to be dangerous.

Tuesday, Monroe produced text-book small ball in the eighth inning to earn a 6-5 win over host St. Joseph in both teams’ openers.

“We’re going to definitely pride ourselves this year on just putting the ball in play and small ball,” Monroe coach Sean Field said, “bunting, especially at the bottom of our order. We got some guys that can really drop a bunt down and then can run. So we’re definitely going to do that.”

Witness the top of the eighth. Monroe, No. 5 in the Home News Tribune Greater Middlesex Conference’s Top 10, scored with three bunts and a single to edge No. 2 St. Joseph in the extra inning.

The No. 8, No. 9 and No. 1 hitters all reached via a bunt in Jake Lobue, Kyle McCauley and Nick Sellari.

Lollin, one of the best pitchers in the area, battled against the explosive St. Joseph offense. He allowed five runs in seven innings with five strikeouts and gave his team the chance to win.

“I knew that if we could just give hm a little bit of run support. I knew we were going to be all right. It was just a matter of scoring a couple runs. I could see like the jitters early with some of the guys, but after two or three innings they kind of found their groove. Found their feet and they were fine.”

It was a big win for Monroe because they play St. Joseph again Thursday and then No. 1 North Brunswick Saturday.

For St. Joes, star catcher Mark Gialluisi went 3-for-3 with an RBI, Robbie Carvelli went 2-for-4 with two RBI and Josiah Brown had two hits with an RBI.
