The Stockton baseball team opened the 2008 season by sweeping a doubleheader from Polytechnic 17-7 (five innings) and 11-5.  Stockton scored at least two runs in four of its five offensive turns in the opener.  The game was halted after five innings due to the 10-run rule.  Freshman Nick Corrado (West Deptford/Gloucester Catholic) went 2-3 with a walk-off three-run homer, his first career home run, in the bottom of the fifth that brought the 10-run rule into effect. 

 

Chris Discher (Cherry Hill/CH West) went 2-4 with a double and five RBI while Pat Goodwin (Mays Landing/Holy Spirit) was 2-3 with a double, three-run homer, three runs and three RBI.  Relief pitcher Anthony Angarano (Old Bridge/Old Bridge) earned the win on the mound with 2.1 scoreless innings during which he allowed just one hit.  Polytechnic scored all seven of its runs in the third inning.

 

Stockton rallied from a 5-3 deficit with eight runs in the sixth inning to complete the sweep 11-5.  Corrado doubled in two runs and Goodwin tripled in a run during the key sixth frame.  Goodwin finished 2-4 with a double, triple and an RBI while Joe Sacerdote (Deptford/Gloucester Catholic) went 2-3 with a double, home run and two RBI.  Winning pitcher Amit Shah (Maple Shade/Maple Shade) allowed five runs (three unearned) on five hits with five strikeouts in five innings pitched.
