Eugene Citrano doubled and Luke Melillo and Rob Murray both had RBI singles in Newtown's two-run second inning. Defensive highlights were turned in by right fielder Jack Miller with a sliding catch in the gap and left fielder Citrano showing off his arm with a throw from the gap to third base to nab a Bethel runner.

The second-seeded lacrosse team was defeated 20-7 by No. 1 New Fairfield in the pinnacle game, on the turf at New Milford High. The Nighthawks trailed just 2-1 after one quarter of play but the Rebels pulled ahead 11-4 at halftime.
