The bad news is that Summit lost its opening game to Millburn, who is considered by some to be the best team in the immediate area. However, the news wasn't all bad. Summit played error free defensive baseball and the infield made a number of extremely good plays. Scott Croswell allowed only 3 hits over the six innings he pitched. This was offset by two innings where he had trouble finding the strike zone.The 2nd and 7th innings accounted for 7 of his 10 walks. Matt Williams was brought on in the 7th with the bases loaded, no outs, and one run already in. He gave up one hit and one walk, but all of the runs were charged to Croswell.

Millburn grabbed a 2 run lead in the 1st inning when Croswell walked the #3 batter and the cleanup hitter pounded a towering home run. They added another in the 2nd inning on four walks. Croswell took charge in the next four innings and shut down Millburn with only one hit. Unfortunately, Millburn's Dasti silenced the Summit bats, allowing only two singles over the 7 innings. Summit got a runner in scoring position in the 3rd inning when Mike Mormak drew a lead off walk and went to 2nd base when Jon Campagna was also walked, but that was as far as it got. Another scoring chance came in the 4th inning. Ryan Carey led off with a sharp single. A fielders choice and an error by the Millburn 2nd baseman allowed Nick Monaco to reach 3rd base. Our best shot at a run came in the next inning. Matt Williams led off with a single and stole 2nd base. With one out Williams stole third, but Dasti struck out the next two batters to end the inning.
