Summit closed out the season with a win against Parsippany, the Iron Hills Champs. It was a very exciting game albeit not a thing of beauty. Parsippany made six errors and Summit three. Summit came from behind twice and then hung on to reap the one run victory. Summit took a two run lead in the 2nd inning when Jon Campagna, the starting pitcher, singled, and went to second when Matt Benedetti's shot to the second baseman was booted. Campagna scored all the way from second when the pitcher tried to pick him off and instead threw the ball into center field. Subsequently, a throwing error on a Nick Monaco ground ball allowed Benedetti to score. The lead was short lived because, with two out in the 3rd inning, a walk and back to back home runs resulted in three Parsippany runs. Summit tied the score in the fourth on singles by Nick Monaco and Brian Dunnder and a fielder's choice by Billy Wheeler. Parsippany came back with two more runs in their 4th inning to regain a 5-3 lead. Summit tied it again in the fifth inning. Wheeless got on via a fielder's choice. Campagna singled and Benedetti was walked to load the bases. Emlen Fischer hit a ball back to the pitcher who threw to 3rd for one out. The throw to first by the third baseman, to complete the double play and escape the inning, went astray making Wheeless' run count. Alert running by Benedetti allowed him to score all the way from first on the bad throw. That tied the score 5-5. Summit went up 7-5 in their 6th inning when, after 2 outs, Josh Lipsey and Mike Nelson where both hit by the pitcher, Wheeless singled to drive in Lipsey and Campagna singled to bring Nelson home. Parsippany got back to within one when their short stop doubled and then scored on two consecutive Summit errors when he tried to steal third. In the bottom of the 7th things looked bad as the first two Parsippany batters singled. But Fischer picked off the runner at second for the first out, he then struck out the next batter and the final batter hit into a routine 6-4 fielder's choice. So the season ended with a victory.

Campagna and Fischer combined to handle to pitching. Campagna throwing for the first 4 innings and the senior Fischer handling the final three. Fischer was credited with the win.
