AUDUBON - The Kingsway Regional High School baseball team found itself in a familiar spot.
The Dragons reached the championship game of the annual Ralph Shaw Classic at Audubon for the second year in a row. Just a year ago, the Woolwich Township program fell short, 4-3, to the host in the tournament final.
This year, Kingsway redeemed itself with a convincing 8-0 victory over the Green Wave. The Dragons captured their third win in as many days season after a season-opening victory over Williamstown and a walk-off win against Bishop Eustace in the Ralph Shaw Classic semifinals.
Both starting pitchers were lights out across the first two innings. Audubon starter Ryan Zimmer struck out four batters in his first two innings. Kingsway's Killian McCaffrey delivered strikes and trusted his defense to make plays behind him.
Zimmer struck out a pair of batters in the top of the third inning. Binghamton commit Tommy Popoff hit an RBI single to give the Dragons a 1-0 lead.
