The Garnets broke open the scoring Saturday with three runs in the second inning. Nanuet (17-6) got on the board in the top of the fifth, but Rye senior Charlie Rupp responded with a solo home run in the bottom of the inning.
Rye junior Nolan Hutson went 2-for-3 with an RBI, and junior catcher Jackson Pineault drove in two runs. Sophomore Luke Ontaneda, junior Lucas London, and junior Michael Talbott also had hits.
