UNION COUNTY, NJ — Next week is May. That means, hopefully, temperatures will rise and rain will stay away. Although avoiding what feels the same as freezing temps and precipitation may be more difficult than facing a 90 mile-per-hour fastball, tournament play is slated to kick in next month, as the 2025 campaign progresses after […]
UNION COUNTY, NJ — Last year, Jonathan Dayton High School won it for the first time. The team the Bulldogs beat in the championship game, Scotch Plains–Fanwood High School, came a run shy of winning it for just the second time and for the first time since 1977. Could this be Arthur L. Johnson High […]

CRANFORD, NJ — A positive first week of the season, including in the wins and losses columns, was somewhat imperative for a Cranford High School baseball team void of a great deal of seniors and returning varsity experience this season. Cranford opened with Union County Conference-crossover triumphs at Oratory Preparatory School, 8-3, on Tuesday, April […]
BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ — Last season was, arguably, the best in Governor Livingston High School baseball history. The Highlanders tied the program record for wins with 28 in a 28-5 season that included just four Watchung Division losses and a 3-2 setback at perennial parochial power Delbarton.
