Semifinal Showdown
DePaul’s baseball squad earned a spot in the North Non‑Public A sectional final after an 8‑5 victory over Bergen Catholic on Tuesday night.
The win was powered by a two‑run homer from senior Jason Amalbert, who also stole three bases and was hailed by Coach Gambardella as the state’s top player.
Eric Marano delivered a pivotal defensive moment in right field, making the final out that sealed the win.
DePaul’s pitching staff combined for 15 strikeouts, with three arms sharing the workload and keeping Bergen Catholic’s hitters in check.
Championship Outlook
The Eagles will meet Delbarton in the championship game on June 4, a rematch of last year’s loss that fuels their championship drive.
Ranked No. 1 in the North Jersey Top 25, DePaul is chasing its first sectional title since 2018 and looks to avenge a defeat at the hands of Don Bosco.
With a blend of power hitting, aggressive base running and a dominant pitching rotation, the team aims to capture the title and restore pride to the program.
