The latest chapter of the Bergen Catholic-Don Bosco baseball rivalry yielded one of the biggest upsets of the high school baseball season.
The Crusaders scored three runs in the first inning, then held off a Don Bosco rally in the final inning to beat the Ironmen, 4-2, and knock them out of the North Non-Public A sectional tournament.
Don Bosco (21-5), the No. 2 seed, had not lost since April 14 and was ranked No. 2 in North Jersey after winning the Bergen County championship on Memorial Day.
Bergen Catholic (16-13), the No. 7 seed, got a complete-game two-hitter from Jael Santos and two RBIs each from Daniel Graziano and Thomas Harmke to spring the upset.
