Southern Regional's first-year head coach Dennis Pidgeon wanted to get a message across to his team after what he thought was a listless performances in its loss to Monsignor Donovan Saturday morning.
""I said, 'I've tried to be a father figure, tried to treat them like my sons, tried to to disciplined them and tried to coddle them, and I wasn't getting effect from them,' '' Pidgeon said. ""I just said, come back after the break, relax, play the game and have fun.' ''
The Rams had a lot more fun Saturday afternoon. Senior right-hander Devon Cocuzza scattered six hits and struck out eight to pick up his first win of the season and drove in both his team's runs as Southern upended Jackson, ranked No. 4 in the Asbury Park Press Top 10, 2-1, in a Shore Conference Class A South game.
Southern (4-7, 4-6), which defeated Toms River South earlier this season, snapped a three-game losing streak. It was the second straight loss for Jackson (10-4, 7-4) and dealt a severe blow to its chances of winning the Class A South title.
The Rams broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the sixth. Darren Schneberg led off with a single. He moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Andrew Schmidt and scored on Cocuzza's double.
The same trio played a hand in Southern's tying run in the fourth as Schneberg and Schmidt singled and Schneberg scored on Cocuzza's single.
Ryan Guarino had an RBI single in the fourth for Jackson.

Shore Regional senior Bill Cerruti had his strikeout pitches working Saturday.
The left-hander struck out 12 and hurled a two-hitter as the Blue Devils defeated Neptune in a first round game of the Monmouth County Tournament, 4-1.
Shore (10-1) will host Raritan (5-5) in a quarterfinal game tentatively scheduled for Friday. It is off to its best start since 1998 when it won its first nine games.
""Cerruti was tremendous,'' said coach Jeff Karpell of Shore. ""He had command of all three pitches, his fastball, changeup, and curveball.
""In the one inning when they scored, it was an unearned run, they had second and third and one out, and one was all they got. He's quite a competitor.''
A sacrifice fly by Rom Somers, a two-run single by Shawn Metz, and an RBI single by Todd Juliano (2-for-3) provided Cerruti all the runs he would need in the first inning.
Tom Juliano added two hits for Shore.
