GAME REPORTS
COLTS NECK 10, MIDDLETOWN NORTH 0:
The Colts Neck High School baseball team is in the midst of a big week.
But, one would not know that by looking at the Cougars' players.
""They've been loose all week,'' said Colts Neck coach Mike Yorke. ""They've been laughing on the bus. They weren't stressed at all (Tuesday). Their confidence level is high and they are comfortable with each other. That's what's important.''
Colts Neck has easily cleared the first two hurdles of a week that will see it play six games in seven days.
It can clinch a tie for both the Class A North overall and public school championships Wednesday with a win at Christian Brothers Academy after it rolled to a 10-0 victory over Middletown North yesterday behind a one-hitter by junior right-hander Anthony DeSclafani.
""Somebody asked me how many in a row we have won, and all we keep saying is we've won one in a row,'' said Yorke, whose team has won six straight and is 11-3 overall and 9-2 in Class A North after wins over Manalapan and Middletown North the last two days.
""Sometimes, we as coaches tend to put a little too much pressure on the kids. These kids are handling it well.''
DeSclafani struck out nine, walked one and allowed just a single in the second inning.
Senior shortstop A.J. Rusbarsky went 3-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored. Dom Hayes, Joe DeNora and Mickey Shaw all had two hits and Ethan Jackson stroked a two-run double in the fourth. Seven different players had RBI as the Cougars avenged an earlier 4-0 loss to Middletown North.
Yorke said that senior left-hander Dom Hayes (1-2) will start Wednesday. CBA defeated Colts Neck, 6-2, in the first meeting between the two teams.

tony
colts neck at middletown north move to tuesday.
What are your thoughts on the colts neck, midd. north game
Howell/Br Mem cancelled
I'm guessing its Byrnes (MN) who shut Colts Neck out the first time, 4-0, vs. DeSclafani or Hayes.
Colts Neck and the Jacksons have been hot and overall Cougars have been more consistent..Lions were bounced Monday by Free. Twp. .
Two quality teams..and the winner is??...darned if I know!...
But I guess you asked for a pick sooo......
Colts Neck, 5-3 (but don't wager your college tuition)!
the Yankee scouts will be at Pt. Boro's Practice watching Biserta work out
And I'm sure they (Yankees) are and have not been the only scouts to watch him this season.....
Biserta put a hitting show on with wood bat, 4hrs to left center and right twice. Defensively threw peas from center to third.
That's nothing. You should have seen me in wiffle ball!
Any other scouts present from other organizations??
they should have been there when the beat with the bayville heat struck PAT THE BAT out swingin',walked him (not intended like most) and he pop-out to center. OH YEAH
Darn - There goes his big league career...
Re: C Neck. Don't ask me about CBA (well, not yet). For now I'm quitting while I'm ahead.
In their first game, a 4-0 victory for MN, Byrnes defeated Hayes. I'm not sure where Desclafani's one loss is from.
DeSclafani lost to CBA 6-2 on April 19.
tomorrow phillies, and the yankees will have an early BP session 2:50 before the game at Pt. Boro, Fink will be throwing BP
