Peter Wheeler looked comfortable as he struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits. Those seven strikeouts gave him a new career-high.

On the hitting side, Rutgers Prep let Cody Rullo and Alex Perez run wild. Rullo went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and one run, while Perez scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. Rullo has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last five times he's played. Ethan Nepomuceno was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-4.

Everything went Rutgers Prep's way against Bernards when the teams last played on Tuesday, as Rutgers Prep made off with a 12-2 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Argonauts since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
