According to TRSCHOOLS.com, High School East's baseball team defeated Jackson Memorial May 3 to secure its first Ocean County title since 2007.

Gavin Toth, the tourney's MVP, earned the win on the mound, and his two-run home run in the sixth inning gave the Raiders a four-run cushion in a game they'd ultimately win 8-5.

It was another hotly-contested matchup between the Shore rival; East defeated Jackson 10-9 in a wild game April, and Jackson returned the favor May 2 with a 14-7 win. The championship game was the rubber match, and East held on.

Matt Ferrara's two-run double in the sixth broke a 4-4 tie, and ultimately proved to the game's defining moment. NJ.com/the Star Ledger was on hand for game coverage and photos.
