May 14, 2017
Toms River, NJ - The Ocean County College Vikings baseball team concluded their 2017 season at Northampton Community College on Sunday (5/14), with a 7-5 loss to Luzerne County CC in the first round of the Region XIX playoffs.
With staff ace Drew Zytko (7-5) on the mound, and the offense connecting, the Vikings began strong and established a 5-2 lead after 4 innings. Unfortunately, defensive mistakes would prove to be Ocean's undoing, as 5 infield errors allowed Luzerne to post a 3-run 5th en route to establishing a 7-5 9th inning lead that was insurmountable.
The Vikings finished the season with an overall record of 23-20 (11-13 in GSAC, 12-15 in Region XIX).
