Junior catcher Mike Fama placed a perfect squeeze bunt in the fourth inning to expand the lead to 5-0. The infield combination of seniors Bryan Grubb (SS) and Stephen MacNamara (2B) turned a textbook double play to kill a Glen Cove rally in the fourth inning.

Division scored the only run on an infield error in the sixth inning. Division then followed up by beating Plainedge 3-1. Junior Kevin Chenicek had a no-hitter going until the fifth inning giving up a lead off double. However, he battled back to throw a complete four-hit game against one of the better offensive teams in the county. With the scored tied in the fifth inning Senior Bryan Herold's base hit scored Kevin Chenicek to give Division a 2-1 lead. Senior Bryan Grubb followed up with his own RBI single to expand the lead to 3-1. Junior catcher Mike Fama made the defensive play of the game by throwing out a runner as Plainedge tried to steal second with two outs and a man at third base in the top of the seventh inning to end the game. Division will meet Garden City at home on April 21 and 24. Both games will start at noon.
