Notre Dame-Belmont 9, Notre Dame-SJ 8, 8 innings

The Tigers handed the Regents their first loss in PAL Ocean Division play, rebounding from a late collapse to win in extra innings.

NDB (1-2 PAL Ocean, 7-10-1 overall) looked to be in control of the game. After NDSJ (3-1, 11-7) scored in the top of the first, the Tigers scored six runs in the bottom of the third and added two more in the fourth for an 8-1 lead.

But the Regents weren’t done. They scored two runs in the top of the fifth before erupting for five runs in the top of the seventh to tie the game at 8-all.

But NDB got the walk-off win in the bottom of the eighth.

Skylar Loo homered, doubled and drove in four runs for NDB, with Nicole Stancil driving in a pair.

Jaz Mina had a pair of doubles and drove in three runs to pace the offense for NDSJ.
