A third meeting with Easton forced Freedom coach Nick D'Amico to consider all his pitching options.
He could not turn away from No. 1 starter Nick Mazzella despite the Red Rovers' familiarity with the senior left-hander.
Ninth-seeded Easton managed plenty of solid at-bats against Mazzella. His pitching and the Patriots' defense won out in the important spots Monday as No. 8 Freedom collected an 8-3 win in a District 11 Class 4A first-round baseball game.
Mazzella carried a shutout into the seventh inning before Easton pushed across three runs. Standing in the Freedom dugout, D'Amico kept reminding Mazzella those runs were of no concern. Recording the final few outs was the only objective.
Mazzella did, finishing his complete-game effort with a strikeout and a groundout. The rubber-game win Freedom and Easton split two regular-season meetings earned the Patriots (14-7 overall) a date with top seed Parkland in Wednesday's district quarterfinals.
D'Amico admitted he initially hesitated at having Mazzella face the Red Rovers (12-9) for a third time. He then recalled that Mazzella threw a great game in the teams' first meeting and was victimized by shoddy defense in the second meeting.
"I felt confidence in him," D'Amico said. "I knew he was going to do the job. He's our No. 1 pitcher for a reason."
On a blustery afternoon, Mazzella pitched his way into and out of trouble time after time. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first and stranded nine Easton runners through the first five innings. His lone 1-2-3 frame came in the sixth.
The first two pitchers Easton used did not match Mazzella's execution.
Matt Fitch started for the Red Rovers but couldn't complete three innings. Mazzella knocked Fitch out of the game with a two-run single in the third. That hit came after Fitch moved within one strike of wriggling out of a first-and-third, no-out jam.

In Richmond County, there are 35 different elementary schools, but only one stands out much more than the others, all because of its location on base at Fort Gordon, and the students who are inside.
NBC 26 Todays Barclay Bishop, takes a closer look at Freedom Park Elementary in our Fort Gordon Connection.
Inside of this classroom, these children look and act like any other group of elementary school students.
But what makes them different is the special, unique bond that each one of them shares.
"All of our population consists of students that are military dependents," said Pauline Andrews, Principal at Freedom Park School.
A military child herself, Freedom Park Principal, Pauline Andrews, knows the hardships that can come with having a family member deployed.
"Moving around, and getting to know friends and then having to uproot themselves," said Principal Andrews.
In 2002, the school was built on base at Fort Gordon so that only those student who live on post can attend. The idea behind that was so that all resources could be in one place, including the help of the school liaisons.
"I help to connect families and help to transition them to the base," said Melissa Kennedy, School Liaison Officer.
"They're scared when they get here. They want to fit in, they want to quickly have a place to call home. And home is wherever their military family goes and so we're here to help support that," said Melissa Barrickman, School Liaison Officer.

Gulmarg, May 19: This world famous ski-resort in North Kashmir is fast turning into a garbage dump, with tons of solid waste generated here being dumped in a nearby forest. Experts warn that if unscientific dumping of garbage is not immediately halted, it could lead to eco-disaster in Gulmarg. With over 5000 tourists visiting the ski-resort every day, at least 131.16 metric tons of solid waste is generated annually. Authorities are dumping the waste in a forest along the Outer Circular Road here, much to the chagrin of visitors A spot visit to the area showed tons of solid waste including leftover food, tin cans and non-biodegradable polythene and plastic bottles dumped in various areas of the forest along OCR. With increase in temperature, a pungent smell emanating from the garbage dumps has engulfed the entire area. Heaps of garbage in various areas, including roads leading to Gulmarg Gondola and Childrens Park, cause immense inconvenience to tourists. We came here to enjoy the natural beauty but the sight of garbage littered at prime spots has spoiled our visit. It is ironical that the state authorities have failed to ensure proper sanitation here, said a group of tourists from New Delhi, pointing towards garbage dumped near Gondola. Locals said the garbage dumps attract wild animals including bears and leopards, thus endangering human lives. Few days ago, we spotted a bear rummaging through garbage dumped outside the Gondola entrance. During evenings, tourists are scared to venture out, they said. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who heads the Gulmarg Development Authority (GDA) Board, had in 2011 underscored the need for cleanliness of Gulmarg. We have to transfer the natural resources God has bestowed upon us to the next generation in a better and preserved form to make the tourism sustain and continue percolating economic benefits to the people in an unabated manner, Omar had said while chairing the GDAs 7th board meeting. The CM had also approved installation of an incinerator to scientifically dispose of garbage generated in Gulmarg. The GDA had entrusted the project estimated at Rs 2.49 crore to the Mechanical Engineering department (MED). Sources said though the MED procured the incinerator plant last year, the GDA has failed to start the allied civil work. Environmentalists maintain that dumping of garbage in the forest can be detrimental for fragile eco-system of Gulmarg. Open dumping of solid waste in forests can severely affect the ecosystem, leading to air and water pollution and subsequently became a health hazard. Government must put in place scientific measures to dispose the garbage, said DrShakeelRomsu, Head Department of Earth Sciences at University of Kashmir. The situation in eco-fragile Gulmarg can lead to eco-disaster, said noted geoscientist Haji Abdul Majid Butt. Environmental lawyer, NadeemQadri, said dumping of garbage in forest is blatant violation of J&K Forest Act and Municipal Solid Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2000 under Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The Supreme Court in Goa Foundation case has already directed the Centre and State Governments to declare 10 kilometre area from National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuary as eco-sensitive zone, but Jammu and Kashmir government has failed to protect and conserve the Gulmarg Wildlife Sanctuary, said Qadri. Locals and hoteliers accused the GDA and Municipal Committee of Gulmarg of being instrumental in vandalisation of the place. Despite collecting lakhs of rupees as toll tax and sanitation fee, the GDA and Notified Area Committee Tangmarg have failed to provide scientific waste management in the resort, they said. GDA officials could not be contacted for comments. Executive Officer Notified Area Committee Tangmarg, Mateen Ahmad said due to code of conduct, the tenders for outsourcing sanitation of Gulmarg could not be floated. Presently, the GDA and Municipal Committee undertake the sanitation of the resort, he said, refusing to comment further.
THE EIA REPORT In its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of Gulmarg, the Centre of Research for Development (CORD) at the University of Kashmir had in 2011 pointed out damage to resorts eco-system due to unscientific dumping of garbage and suggested measures to check the problem. There is no specific disposal site in the resort area. The open dumping and subsequent open burning of the dumped waste could produce harmful effects on the ecology of the area and also on the health and hygiene of the people. The horse dung is also posing a problem in the resort area as most of the roads remain littered with this solid waste, contributing to the unpleasant landscape and roads, the report stated. The EIA had recommended putting in place an efficient Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) for the management of solid waste in the area, with particular focus on the waste prevention, recycling and composting and combustion and disposal in properly designed, constructed and managed landfills.

Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House, a masterpiece on the banks of the Fox River, has been hit by three different "100-year-floods" in the last 20 years. Now, preservationists are considering putting the home on permanent hydraulic jacks to lift it above floodwaters. The Farnsworth House would become a cyborg buildingand it's far from the only one.
Writing in the Chicago Tribune, architecture critic Blair Kamin describes how the home's owner, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is considering several ways to save the Farnsworth House. Mies, when he designed the home in the late 1940s, foresaw the flooding issuethat's why he lifted the building up on steel columns that make it seem to "float" over the landscape. But that landscape is changing: The floods are coming more and more often, and the fragile building can't withstand many more.
The simplest option: The building could be moved to higher ground. The problem there? Many historians argue it would defeat the careful siting of the structure around the wooded glen it sits inside. What about building up its foundation so it's a bit higher above the floods? The same issue appliesand it's very expensive, at $2.9 million. The third idea, and by far the most remarkable, would only cost a smidgen more:
The trust is considering a daring plan that would temporarily move the house from its site, build a pit beneath it and insert hydraulic jacks that would lift the house out of harm's way the next time the Fox attacks it. Or so goes the plan, which seems like something out of a science fiction movie.
Whether or not this plan would be carried out is still up in the airthe public will debate the idea at a meeting on May 29. But imagine the scene: As meteorologists crow impending storms, a steward at the home would flip a switch and the home would creak to life, rising slowly but surely above the grassy lawn where it's spent the last 65 years. When the water receded, it would be lowered gently back to earth.
In fact, 800 miles east of Farnsworth, hydraulic jacks are becoming a bonafide trend for homeowners who are also threatened by rising tides; in this case, communities on the Jersey Shore who, rather than rebuilding in less dangerous coastal areas, are jacking up their homes on hydraulics so they meet FEMA's standards for flood-prone areas.
Ram Jack Foundation Solutions, a North Carolina company that specializes in hydraulic house liftsnormally for damaged foundationsis actually inventing a specialized solution for flood-prone homeowners. It's called the Sandy Bracket: A unique bracket that attaches a home's existing wooden foundation piles to a series of helical steel pilings driven deep into the ground. That way, they can lift aging homes up above the coast without damaging the aging structures.
Here's how Helical Pile World describe the lifting of one home:
Ram Jack was able to simultaneously lift the Heinle's house from 7 feet 7 inches above sea level to 12 feet 2 inches above sea level by installing helical piles to an average depth of 20 feet parallel to the 33 existing timber piles. By using the innovative "Sandy Bracket" pile attachment, Ram Jack was able to slowly lift the house by nudging the timber piles upward a few inches at a time.
The Sandy Bracket, it turns out, wasn't just invented after its titular storm. It was invented more six years ago to help Gulf Coast homeowners rebuild after Hurricane Ike.

MANTOLOKING, N.J. -
The Jersey shore's beaches are in their best shape in years heading into the Memorial Day weekend, the result of a massive replenishment project after Superstorm Sandy and some simple good luck: a series of brutal winter storms that took it easy on the coastline.
Most of the storms did little or no damage to the shoreline and instead dropped snow over inland areas without causing significant erosion along the coast.
Couple that with the federal beach replenishment underway along most of the Jersey shore, and you've got a potentially primo beach season as the second summer following Sandy nears.
"The beaches actually came through the winter pretty well," said Jon Miller, a coastal expert at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken. "We had a rough winter in terms of snow and cold, but the nature of the storms was such that they didn't cause a lot of erosion. Most of the storms took a land route rather than over water. Part of it was just dumb luck."
New Jersey's luck was all bad during the Oct. 29, 2012, storm that damaged or destroyed 360,000 homes and businesses, causing an estimated $37 billion in damage. Houses were pulverized, boardwalks smashed into kindling, beaches were washed away and a roller coaster was pitched into the ocean.
But this past winter, the five biggest storms didn't generate the kind of wave action that caused so much damage during Sandy, experts said.
Another major factor in the robust condition of the beaches is the ongoing replenishment project that pumps sand from offshore sites onto the beaches. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is restoring the beaches to their pre-Sandy condition.
For most spots, that means 150 to 200 feet of sand.
Sandy Hook, Sea Bright and Monmouth Beach are all in good shape following replenishment work, which is ongoing in Long Branch. Miller said several beaches to the south of Long Branch, including Deal and Loch Arbour, are "the missing link" because they had not previously been replenished and have very little sand right now. They are due to be replenished this fall or winter.

Dogs arent usually associated with clean beaches.
But new research has recognized border collies for their ability to chase off gulls that foul beach water and sand with their droppings.
The experiment was launched two years ago by researchers at Central Michigan University who were asked by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to find new ways to control a surging population of gulls that gather on the shores of the Great Lakes.
Not only do the birds swoop down to snatch sandwiches from picnickers and annoy beach-goers, they also poop right where people swim. That makes them a major source of E. coli, bacteria health officials test for as an indicator of pathogens that can make swimmers sick. When elevated levels are detected, authorities post warnings or close beaches.
Elizabeth Alm, a microbiologist at Central Michigan University who led the research, said a review of the literature on the subject found a variety of bird-exclusion techniques using wires, strobe lights, lasers and pyrotechnics -- but few that would be suitable for a public beach.
Enter the border collie.
She and other researchers at the university were familiar with the breeds reputation for intelligence, agility and hard work. So they decided to audition them. Could they use their keen herding abilities and intense gazes toscare off the offending gulls and lower bacteria levels at the beach?
To find out, the researchers leased two trained border collies that had previously been used by the U.S. Air Force to keep geese off runways.
During the summers of 2012 and 2013, scientists assigned each dog to patrol a stretch of public beach on Lake Michigan, leaving two other nearby sections of beach dog-free as a control.
The researchers counted gulls and measured bacteria levels to conclude that border collies were highly effective at warding off gulls from beaches. Samples showed the beaches patrolled by a border collie had significantly lower counts of bacteria than those without dogs.

Yaverland beach is one of the Isle of Wight beaches to win a Blue Flag award. Picture by Robin Crossley.
THE Isle of Wight is king of the 'sand castle for top beaches.
The Isle of Wight reaffirmed its crown as the countrys number one destination for quality beaches after retaining its four Blue Flags and 13 Seaside Awards received in 2013.
The prestigious Blue Flag scheme and Seaside Awards which were previously known as Quality Coast Awards are run by the Keep Britain Tidy Group.
The Blue Flag acts as a guarantee to tourists that a beach or marina they are visiting is one of the best in the world.
Sandown, Ventnor, Yaverland and Colwell beaches have all retained their Blue Flags as well as being given Seaside Awards.
Other beaches to receive the accolade were Cowes, East Cowes, Springvale, Seagrove, Gurnard, Ryde East, St Helens, Totland and Shanklin.
All the award-winning beaches have been rewarded for their fantastic facilities, cleanliness and, in the case of the Blue Flag awards, meeting the highest international standard of water quality.
Isle of Wight Council executive member for tourism Cllr Shirley Smart said: "Yet again the Isle of Wight comes out top in the prestigious Blue Flags and Seaside Awards scheme which is excellent news.
"With the increase in tourists we have seen over the last year, this can only further enhance the Islands reputation as a top holiday destination."
