Adrian Rojas made a huge impact in his Union Catholic debut.

The senior had two hits, including an RBI double, scored a run and struck out the side in the seventh inning to earn the save and preserve a 5-3 victory for the Vikings over Johnson on Friday afternoon in Scotch Plains.    

The Vikings are now 5-4 overall and 3-1 in the Mountain Division.

Nick Pellegrino earned the victory on the mound for UC, allowing just three hits over 5.1 innings.

Offensively, freshman Brayden Morrison had three hits, scored a run, knocked in a run, and stole two bases, Chris Wilson had two hits and scored a run, Ryan Bevensee had two hits and drove in a key run in the bottom of the sixth inning to give the Vikings a 5-3 lead, and Mike Pellegrino knocked in a run.
