Morris 10 – Truman 0: Morris High School (11-0) maintains its hold over the Bronx B Division with a strong win over the  tough 4th place Truman Mustangs (7-2).  Steve Marquez (3-for-3, 2 R, 4 RBI’s) proved to be the big story of the day, belting 2 home runs while Idaury Peralto allowed only 3 hits over 5 innings and struck out 8 in the victory. 

Moore Catholic 3 – St. Raymond’s 1: Hans Arias, of the Ravens, and Ed Medina, of Moore Catholic, had a pitcher’s duel going on into the 6th inning when Mike Carletti ripped a single to score in a run and give Moore Catholic a 1-0 lead.  Joe Harten (sac fly) and Tommy Todero (single) also batted in runs for Moore Catholic (9-0) in the victory.  Medina held the Ravens hitless until Louis Castilla hit a double in the top of the 6th inning just over the glove of the first baseman inside the right field line.  Xavier Bonilla hit a double, stole third and scored on a ground out for St. Raymond’s only run of the game.
