Senior starting pitcher Brandon Harder earned his seventh win of the season versus three defeats as he led the 16th ranked North Haven Indians to a first round 7-2 victory over the Bunnell Bulldogs in the CIAC Class L Championship at Robert E. DeMayo Field on Monday evening. After spotting the Bulldogs a first inning run, Harder settled down and threw four shutout innings of ball before surrendering his only other run of the game in the sixth inning, ending with a complete game four hitter.

The Indians came back with three runs in the bottom of the first inning, taking advantage of a pair of walks with RBI singles by Steve Rudewicz, Nick Gambardella and Steve DiCapua. Elvin Rodriguez tripled over the head of Bunnell's center fielder in the fourth as North Haven would go on to plate two more runs and build up a 5-2 lead. The Indians scored two more runs in the sixth inning to close out the scoring in a 7-2 win. Rudewicz, Rodriguez and Eric Yavarone each had two hits for North Haven.

 North Haven played top ranked Berlin on June 2, but lost the second round.
