The Middlesex Blue Jays won their seventh state title, hanging on to beat Midland Park 3-2 Monday afternoon at the Wood-Ridge Athletic Complex in Bergen County.
Middlesex finishes its season 23-5, winners of the Central Jersey Group 1 title and the overall state Group 1 championship.
The Blue Jays got three runs in the third inning on a two-RBI single by Luke Jones and an RBI infield hit by Marcus Lavornia. But Midland Park made it interesting in the sixth, loading the bases with nobody out. While they scored two, they had a runner thrown out at third on a fly ball to center that dropped in, ending the inning.
Middlesex starter Dominic Long came back in the seventh and issued a walk, but locked it down for the win in the end.
