His first home run came on the very first at bat of the game when he delivered a pitch over the right field fence to give the Tigers a quick 1-0 lead. The Tigers would answer again in their half of the 2nd inning when Jr. Rasheed Stewart lead off with a base hit, followed by a walk to Soph. Josh Goldenberg, and Soph. Justin Berg getting hit by a pitch to load the bases. Up stepped Barbarese who deposited another shot over the fence for the grand slam giving the Tigers a commanding 5-0 lead. GFS would push across a run in the 3rd and one more in the 5th before MFS would plate their lone run in the bottom of the 6th.
For the day, Barbarese was 2-3 with 5 RBI's and 2 runs scored. Goldenberg also chipped in by reaching base in all 4 of his plate appearances with 2 singles and 2 walks.
On the mound, Sr. Mike Barsotti improved to 5-0 with another strong performance by pitching a complete game 1 hitter. He struck out 12 batters and walked only 2.
