Mike Doran had three RBI and Tyler Eaton had two hits for Groton. Kyle Richards had two hits and scored and Joe Hajj added a run for the Sonics.

NECBL honors Caruso 

• Mystic Schooners catcher Michael Caruso was named the New England Collegiate Baseball League Sportsman of the Year. Caruso becomes the third Mystic player to win the award, joining Groton's Aaron Hill (2015) and Joe Rosencrance (2013).

A rising junior at Fairfield, Caruso was the Schooners' emotional leader all season. He was instrumental in the team's 6-0 start, catching five of the six games and displaying a relentless energy behind the plate. He was batting nearly .400 through seven games before sustaining a wrist injury that shut him down for the season.

Rather than return home for the summer, Caruso elected to stay in Mystic and caught bullpens, worked on daily catching drills, coached first base and maintained his leadership status from the sideline. He spent his time with the coaching staff and eased their workload by serving as a first base coach.
