Phil Kramer (Hazlet, N.J./Raritan) (1-4) pitched a complete game and struck out one batter with one earned run.
Ramapo (18-8, 5-3) used 9 hits and capitalized on five errors by the Gothic Knights to plate its four runs. Julian Caruso and Brandon Tauber led the way, tallying two hits each.
Both pitchers put on a clinic through the first four innings as both offenses were held scoreless. The Roadrunners got on the board in the bottom of the 5th via a sacrifice fly before doubling their tally in the next inning via an error.
Solomon put the Gothic Knights on the board with an RBI single down the left field line to cut the lead down to one. NJCU nearly tied it up, however, Nick Vaughn (Ocean Township, N.J./Ocean Township) was tossed out at the plate. The Roadrunners created all the separation they needed with two runs in the bottom of the 8th to go ahead 4-1. NJCU tried to rally at the top of the 9th with a run, but ran out of steam as they struck out to end the game.
