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 […]

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. All of those things and more applied on a hot and humid Thursday afternoon at KeanUniversity’s Cougar Field. It might have been appropriate that the temperature […]

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? With Williamson on the mound Cranford’s offense usually doesn’t need to produce a whole lot. In six games Williamson has given up just two […]
