Notre Dame's baseball team pulled off a dramatic 3-2 victory over Pine Grove on Tuesday, scoring all three of their runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to secure the walk-off win.
After trailing 2-0 heading into the final frame, the Crusaders rallied with clutch hits and heads-up base running. Clemente Cintron sparked the offense with a two-hit day, including a double, and came around to score one of the decisive runs. Christian Rivituso delivered the key RBI hit to tie the game, and Notre Dame capitalized on Pine Grove’s late defensive miscues to plate the game-winner.
On the mound, Michael Martino was dominant, tossing 6.1 innings, allowing six hits and no earned runs while striking out eight. Cintron came in to shut the door in relief, recording the final two outs and earning the win.
Notre Dame’s pitching staff combined for 10 strikeouts while holding Pine Grove to just two runs, both unearned.
With the win, the Crusaders advance to the semifinal matchup against Allentown Central Catholic this Saturday at DeSales University.
