The Southern Regional baseball team was given another chance to stay alive in the Shore Conference Tournament, and the Rams took full advantage of the situation.

After their first-round contest with 13th-seeded Barnegat was ended due to rain in the top of the sixth two days earlier – the Bengals had just scored and had the bases loaded with no outs  – the 14th-seeded Rams seized control early on May 16, scoring seven times in the first inning before cruising to an 8-2 victory.

“The rules are the rules, and we’re not going make excuses for that,” said Barnegat head coach Dan McCoy.
