When head Barnegat varsity baseball coach Dan McCoy pulled his lefty ace starter Jason Groome in the top of the fifth inning after he had thrown 60pitches against Point Pleasant April 5, his reasoning was that it was the opening game on a frigid day. McCoy figured as the season wore on, the senior would get to work deeper into games and be even more dominant than he was in the opener, when he struck out 10 batters and allowed one hit in a Bengals 2-0 victory.

Sounds like McCoy might have sold Groome a little short, as the 6-6-inch lefty followed that up with a complete game…
