New London — Pieter Khoury drove in three runs, including the go-ahead run on a base hit in the seventh inning, as New London rallied from a 3-0 deficit to defeat Tolland 5-3 on Thursday in the third round of the Connecticut American Legion baseball tournament at Sal Amanti Field.

New London, the Zone VI champion, swept the best-of-three series and advances to the Northern Division Final Four on Saturday at South Windsor against an opponent to be determined.

Khoury was also the winning pitcher, going 7.1 innings and scattering nine hits without walking a batter. Justin Marceau pitched the final 1.2 innings for the save, allowing just one hit.

New London trailed 3-0 in the fifth when it erupted for three runs to tie the score, the key hit Khoury's two-run double. He also drove in Cooper Robinson with an RBI single in the seventh to give New London a 4-3 lead, and Marceau hit a solo homer in the ninth.
