Herrick started the game-winning rally with a leadoff single and moved up on Jared Henry’s single. Kade Grober then reached on a bunt to load the bases for Goretti.
After Southwick’s pitcher got the next man swinging, Sam Cormier singled to right to drive in Henry.
Tyler Wade gave up a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth but got the final out on a popup to the mound.
Wade got the win with 3-⅓ innings of two-hit, shutout relief. He struck out three and walked one after coming on for Henry with two out in the sixth.
Wade also doubled in a 2-for-5 day at the plate. Goretti went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, including the game-winner, and Grober was 2-for-4 and scored twice.
Monument Mountain tied the game with a run in the top of the seventh, when Goretti singled to score Henry.
Monument Mountain (8-2) goes to Hoosac Valley on Friday.
