North 2, Group 1 champion Dayton concluded another fine season at 20-5
Believe it or not, there’s something the Cranford baseball program has not achieved yet. That’s win back-to-back state championships. The Cougars are now seven innings away from doing that for the first time. Believe it or not, there’s something the Westfield baseball program has not achieved yet. That’s win a state championship. The Blue Devils […]
Cougars, Bulldogs, Blue Devils one win away from reaching Toms River
Westfield was there for the first time two years ago. Cranford has been there four times since 2003. Dayton is seeking to get there for the first time. Where is there?

Bulldogs will next face Pompton Lakes Tuesday at William Paterson in a Group 1 semifinal
SPRINGFIELD – The first time Dayton had two baserunners on, No. 8 batter Robert Kinloch was ready to rev up the Bulldog offense once more. With runners on first and second and one out in the bottom of the second, the lefty-swinging Kinloch hit a shot to the gap in left off Roselle Park lefty […]
Will next face Paramus Tuesday at East Brunswick Tech in a group semifinal
CRANFORD – Going into the sixth inning you could have described the game as bordering on a classic. A low-scoring contest saw the score still tied after both teams survived fifth inning errors. Then after each led off their sixth innings with singles, it was a matter of one not getting the bunt down and […]
Highlanders, down to their last strike, manage to avoid getting shut out
UNION – Sometimes there’s just no denying a certain team. Sometimes the better team comes out on top. Sometimes a team just matches up better against a certain opponent.

Cougars improve to 17-0 with Sunday's victory at Kean
The Cranford baseball team never won the Union County Tournament until 1999. The year before, the Cougars reached the final for the first time in 20 years and fell to Summit. Since 1999, Cranford can’t lose. On Sunday in the 60th annual baseball Union County Tournament championship game at Kean University’s Jim Hynes Class of […]
The Governor Livingston baseball team competes hard every day to put its best product on the field. The Highlanders also care more about just the game. An example of that will be on display Saturday morning at 11 when they host Union County Conference-crossover foe Rahway at Snyder Park in Berkeley Heights in a game that […]
Cranford 15-0 as of Thursday and also ranked second in the state
UNION – Question No. 1: How will Westfield hit Ryan Williamson? Question No. 2: Is Cranford capable of providing Williamson a bit more run support than they have in the past?
