STAFF REPORT
Both Ben Miller and Mike McDonough have probably all ready figured out they will pitch often for Rumson-Fair Haven Regional this season.
Tuesday, the two seniors combined to pitch the final five innings in relief to help the Bulldogs record a 9-4 upset win over No. 5 Raritan in a Shore Conference Class A Central game.
McDonough (1-0) pitched the middle 2 1/3 innings to pick up the win and Miller got out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the fifth by getting a 4-6-3 double play to the first batter he faced. Miller pitched hitless ball over the final 22/3 innings to pick up the save.
""They've both thrown in all three games so far and started one and relieved in two,'' said Rumson coach Kevin James, whose team improved to 3-0 both overall and in the division. ""Miller is hitting his spots, throwing strikes and able to hit keep his pitch count down. ""He's going to stat one and be in the pen the next day. Same with McDonough.''
Rumson, which trailed 4-0 after 21/2 innings, took the lead with a six-run fourth in which McDonough lofted a sacrfice fly, Tucker Bowe laid down a run-scoring bunt single, with another run scoring on a throwing error on the same play, and Steve Giordano delivered an RBI single.
The Bulldogs closed to within, 4-3, in the third when Miller, who had two doubles, in the game, cracked a two-run, two-bagger.
""The guys are taking their responsibilities and roles and really running with them,'' James said. ""We've used six different pitchers in three games and today we used 13 players. We're not playing individual ball. We're playing team ball. Everyone understands their role. For us to succeed, we need everyone to contribute.''
Bowe also had two hits for Rumson and Dave Shrum had a two-run double with two out in the second for Raritan (2-1, 0-1).

The St. John Vianney Comeback Kids struck again Tuesday.
After spotting Matawan a six-run lead the Lancers roared back, scoring three runs, in the bottom of the seventh inning to snatch a 9-8 victory over Matawan in a nondivsion game.
St. John had trailed Red Bank Catholic and Middletown south in its prior victories.
""We're team that comes back, we're not going to give up,'' said first-year SJ Vianney coach Mike Morgan. ""I think this is becoming a habit.''

i heard kyle norman carried a perfect game into the 5th..any truth to this?
Could be...I did not take that game over the phone. But LB did finish with two hits.
Not to take away from his strong effort but I think it's more note worthy to take a pefect game into - say - the sixth or seventh.
As bad as L.B. has been in the past,there is hope on the horizon with some baseball talent on the freshman team.
Why is the program at L.B. so bad every year?
LB has a decent baseball tradition, though not lately. It has not had a winning season since going 16-7, 8-3 in 2000. Exacty what the problem is I couldn't tell you.
