Falk, Frohman lead Highlanders to their fourth title game in program history
UNION – When the Governor Livingston team bus arrived at KeanUniversity’s Jim Hynes ’63 Baseball Stadium approximately an hour before Saturday’s county tournament game was to begin, one player was not on it. That was junior Mike Falk, who arrived just 20 minutes before the game started after taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) for […]
Highlanders come back in fifth, Cougars victorious in extra innings again over Vikings
UNION – The last time Dayton and Governor Livingston met in the Union County Tournament was in 2012. Both schools remember the game vividly. Dayton broke through late and, as the seventh seed, upset the second-seeded Highlanders 7-3 in BerkeleyHeights to reach the semifinals for the first time in seven years. Both teams entered the […]
For the first time in nine years the baseball Union County Tournament semifinals will not take place at Elizabeth’s Williams Field. Union County Interscholastic Athletic Conference (UCIAC) Executive Director Tom Lewis disclosed Thursday afternoon that the semifinals will take place at KeanUniversity’s Jim Hynes ’63 Baseball Stadium in Union for the first time. Saturday’s scheduled semifinals […]
First-round games are April 26, quarterfinals April 30, semifinals May 3 and final May 10.
The Governor Livingston baseball team has never won the Union County Tournament. The Highlanders probably never earned the top seed before either. This could be their year. GL, with an overall record of 10-1 and a Union County Conference-Watchung Division mark of 4-1, is in line to earn the top seed for the 61st annual […]
WARREN – Despite playing its fourth game in four days, the Union baseball team was – according to first-year head coach Angel Navarette – “rested and ready to go” when it traveled to Somerset County Saturday to face an improving Watchung Hills squad that had won three in a row after a 1-5 start. The visiting […]
Sophomore righty Feeney - in a 4-inning effort - earns the mound victory in relief
ROSELLE PARK – Heading into the bottom of the seventh of Saturday’s Roselle Park Dad’s Club Baseball Invitational clash against South Jersey power Steinert, Cranford had batter Nos. 6, 7 and 8 due up. Up to that point they were a combined 0-for-6. If the Cougars, down three runs, were to pull off a […]
Starter Kimmel earns win to improve to 2-0; Lashuk picks up a save
SPRINGFIELD – The baseball season is like a blur. Games played on consecutive days blend into each other with a bit more important ones in between soon forgotten with the next day’s first pitch. So we stop for a brief moment to acknowledge two teams off to 5-0 starts, the leaders of the Mountain Division […]
BERKELEY HEIGHTS – After having lost twice in two games to New Providence last year in clashes that right hander David Gelormini pitched, host Governor Livingston kind of expected somewhat of an uphill battle Sunday against the visiting Pioneers when facing Gelormini once more. The GL baseball team managed to score three runs off Gelormini, a senior, […]
Highlanders have downed Plainfield and Elizabeth so far
So far so good for a Governor Livingston baseball team that has the highest aspirations this season. Goal No. 1 would be to play up to its capabilities. GL began Wednesday with a matter-of-fact 12-1 win at Plainfield and then followed that up Thursday with a more-than-convincing 16-1 Union County Conference-Watchung Division home triumph over […]
After somewhat surprisingly reaching the North 2, Group 1 championship game last year after a rocky 3-7 start, the RosellePark baseball team has aspirations of winning the section again this year – which would be for the first time since 2011. A major stumbling block is Dayton, with RosellePark falling to the Bulldogs in last […]
