Wolfpack 13, Reds 10 (Gm2)
August 8, 2004

The Reds used a four-run first inning, highlighted by Christian Banfer's two-run triple, to defeat the first place Wolfpack 5-2 in the first game of a doubleheader. George Lovett pitched a complete game to run his record to 6-0. He struck out six. In the nightcap, the Reds appeared ready to take over sole possession of first place, taking a 7-2 lead after just two innings. Banfer banged another two-run triple while Pete DiLorenzo (2-3, 3 RBI) and Lovett (2-4, 3 runs) paced the offense. But Moorestown battled back to salvage a split and remain in first place in USOTB Southwest. The final week of the regular season will have the Reds making up their July 18 rain out versus UTEK. A win clinches at least fourth place overall in the South and a first round bye.
