Next 7 seeds are Scotch Plains-2, Westfield-3, Gov. Livingston-4, Elizabeth-5, Union-6, Dayton-7 and Union Catholic-8
To nobody’s surprise at the seeding meeting at Cranford High School Monday night, state-ranked Cranford earned the top seed once again for the 60th annual baseball Union County Tournament. As of Monday night, Cranford was 7-0, ranked No. 2 in the state and was Union County’s only undefeated team. On Saturday morning, Cranford came back […]
Blue Devils senior righty Galasso scatters nine hits, Arena produces opposite field 3-run double to left in first inning; Zimmerman, Carter, Dillon, Alvarado sock extra-base hits for Farmers
BRIDGEWATER – Sometimes the knockout punch comes in the first inning. All it takes is a couple of errors and a few walks and – even without producing a bunch of hits – the visiting team has a healthy lead right off the bat. That was the case Sunday night when Westfield and Union hooked […]
Forrestal has game-winning RBI vs. 8-1-1 Delbarton
MORRIS TOWNSHIP – Among the many clichés in the sport of baseball is that a pitcher’s best friend is a double play. On Saturday the wind – blowing in a bit – was just as friendly to Cranford pitcher Ryan Williamson. After hitting a home run the opposite way over the right field fence in […]
Former Union assistant and Roselle head coach met with returning UHS players, 'I let them know that I'm here and that we're ready to go'
The only goal Lou Grasso Jr. has for the Union High School football team is to help lead the Farmers to their next state championship.

Walsh pitches 4 innings complete in relief to earn mound victory; Johnson leadoff batter Dunn 2-for-4
CLARK – If it were not for some less-than-stellar fielding by both teams, lefty starters Alec Marcantonio of Dayton and John Stauffer of Johnson might have been locked up in a pitchers’ duel. However, that was not the case on a very cold and gray Thursday afternoon when the Dayton-Johnson league clash was moved to […]

Woods, who bats 3rd, went 3-for-3, with three RBI and one run; 3-time defending champion GL will face Newark Academy for crown
BERKELEY HEIGHTS – The first week of the season couldn’t have worked out better for a young and learning-on-the-job Governor Livingston baseball team. Three wins in three games the past five days included 42 runs against Middlesex County opponent Carteret, Union County Conference-crossover foe Plainfield and Morris County squad Madison. A 3-0 start that included […]
With the Governor Livingston baseball team you’ll always know what the lineup is ahead of time. There are no head games. The only mystery is what exactly will happen in the contest that is about to unfold. That’s what makes the Highlander Classic so special. You get four teams vying for a championship in early […]
Opening Day is Tuesday, April 2 at home vs. Watchung Division foe Linden
Union came back last year to finish a respectable 13-13 after reaching the Union County Tournament championship game for the first time in 19 years. Will this be the season the Farmers win the UCT crown for the first time since 1993? “Sometimes the hardest thing is teaching your kids how to win,” said head […]
Millburn, guided by former Cranford assistant coach Chapman, is in the event for the first time
This year’s fifth annual Roselle Park Dad’s Club Baseball Invitational – with the first pitch set to be thrown April 12 – just might feature the eventual North 2, Group 4 champion once again. That team could be Bridgewater-Raritan, which last year reached the semifinals where it lost to eventual champion Hillsborough. That team could […]
