Roslyn head coach Dan Freeman said they couldn’t get going offensively against Rutigliano after a three run first inning.

“We didn’t hit the ball well after the first inning,” Freeman said. “He’s a very good pitcher. He threw very hard and tossed a lot of strikes.”

In the bottom of the first inning, Roslyn took a 3-0 lead with back to back singles by Scheel and Faber and an RBI ground out by Lipetz.

In the top of the fifth, Carey put up six runs to take a 6-3 lead after chasing Lipetz.

A two run single by Bell got them within a run and a throwing error allowed Carey to tie the game at three.

After an intentional walk to Tyler Demeo, Dan Conte and Matt Cosgrove followed up with an RBI single and a two run double respectively.

Roslyn outfielder Robbie Pomerantz said giving up the lead hurt them and made them lose their focus.

“We played well the whole game but that one inning just killed us,” Pomerantz said. “I thought that our defense was good besides that inning. Once we were down, we needed to stay focused and I think we lost our focus.”

Carey added two more runs in the top of the sixth inning on a single by Vic Denicola and a wild pitch, as they went on to win 8-3.
