The decisive run came across on an error in the bottom of the seventh as Stockton fell 3-2. Nerina Tramp (Blackwood/Highland) pitched a complete game, allowing just one earned run (two unearned) with six strikeouts and no walks.
 
In the nightcap, McKenna George (Centennial, Colo./Eaglecrest) went 2-5 with a double, home run, two runs and an RBI while Cetrulo was 2-3 with a homer and two RBI.
 
Stockton broke out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first as Charli Czaczkowski (Jackson/Jackson Memorial) ripped an RBI double and Cetrulo and Alexa Panagopoylos (Atco/Hammonton) added RBI singles.
