The righty styled a three-hitter with eight strikeouts, turning the Golden Hawks with a blend of pace and power. CR South (23-3) was held without a hit over the final five innings. On the board first when Colin Pyne singled home Tyler Kozeniewski in the second frame, La Salle pushed across two more runs in the fourth. Corey Baiada's lead-off double led to RBI singles by Mike Piscopo and Dom Cuoci. Long (11-2), throwing 71 of his 109 pitches for strikes, made it stick. Piscopo and Pyne shared four of La Salle's six hits. CR South starter Bret DeStefano (9-2) was charged with six hits and three earned runs over 5 1/3 innings. The title was La Salle's first.
