Kevin Blum homered, tripled twice and struck out eight, and Russell Petranto, Patrick Marinaccio and Joey Rose also homered for New Jersey.
Blum was sharp on the mound against the Saudi Arabia squad comprised mainly of children of Americans living abroad.
The 13-year-old pitcher allowed just a single each to Braden Barnett and Julian Kinney over five innings before Anthony Deceglie finished the shutout.
After a home run in the second, Blum tripled to right in the fifth and darted home off an errant throw by Danyal Rashid. Blum and Marinaccio each went 3 for 4 and scored three runs.
