Box Score Lakewood, NJ:  Right fielder Dan Mauriello had a two-run, walk-off single to lift Ramapo College to a 3-2 win over Keystone College in an elimination game at the NCAA Division III Mid-Atlantic Regional on Saturday afternoon.

The fourth-seeded Roadrunners (35-14) advance to face #2 Kean University for the fifth time this season and need to defeat the Cougars twice to advance to the NCAA Division III Baseball Championships.

Top-seeded Keystone College closes out the season with a 37-8 record.

Trailing 2-1, Ramapo loaded the bases with no outs, as third baseman Christian Spurr led off with a double, catcher Matt Hancock walked and designated hitter Ian Osterman reached on the fielder's choice sacrifice when the Giants attempted to get the lead run at third base.  Keystone recorded the first out on the fielder's choice at home plate to get Spurr and picked up the second out on the shallow fly ball.  Mauriello followed with the single through the left side to bring home pinch runner Zach Carroll and Osterman with the game-winning runs.

Keystone had taken a 2-1 lead in the top of the ninth inning on the RBI single by shortstop Miquel Castano, scoring pinch runner Andrew Siano.  Catcher Austin Straub led off the inning with a single and advanced to second on the sacrifice by right fielder Tyler Caserta, where he was replaced by Siano.  Siano stole third base and scored on the single through the left side by Castano.

Ramapo took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning after left fielder Dave Jacob led off with a double, advanced to second on the sacrifice by centerfielder Lee Rozins and scored on the single by third baseman Christian Spurr.

The score remained that way until the seventh inning when the Giants tied the game at 1-1 on the sacrifice fly by second baseman Esteban Meletiche.  Castano singled to the shortstop to lead off the inning and advanced to second on the throwing error.  After moving over to third base on the sacrifice by centerfielder Brian Del Rosso, Meletiche brought home Castano with the fly ball to right field.
