HADDONFIELD – Ryan Easterday singled through a five-man infield to drive in the winning run in the Roughriders’ 4-3 decision over Williamstown.

Easterday doubled in Dean Wilson (leadoff single) with two outs, and Eric Juliani followed with an RBI single to tie the game after five innings. Andrew Juliani’s two-out RBI single scoring Chris Bartell (lead-off walk, stolen base) in the sixth appeared to be the game winner until the game was evened at 3-3 in the top of the seventh. In the bottom half, Wilson reached on an error and Mike Byrnes drew a walk. Alex Reinicker’s sacrificed safely to load the bases, setting up the Easterday game winner. Dean Vespe went six strong innings (3 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 K) in a no-decision. Easterday picked up the win in relief (1 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 BS).
