Bound Brook coach Steve Bucchignano and the Crusaders have been in a rough spot as the borough continues to dry up from Sunday's monstrous Nor'easter. Bucchignano's team can't play any games until at least Saturday since Bound Brook students are out of school.
Since Billian Park field where the Crusaders play and practice has been flooded, the team has been practicing indoors at the Zone Baseball Academy in Bridgewater. The Crusaders have also received 14 Walmart gift certificates from North Plainfield head coach Larry Cohen and his team to buy baseball equipment lost in the flood. Somerville has offered the Crusaders their home field at White Oak Park to play home games.
"The support we have gotten has been tremendous," Bucchignano said. "We really appreciate the support from coach Cohen, Somerville and the Zone."
Bound Brook may practice Friday at Robert Morris School in South Bound Brook where it played its home games before coming back to Bound Brook this year. The Crusaders received the No. 10 seed in the Somerset County Tournament and will play host to a preliminary round game against No. 15 Franklin Saturday. The Crusaders will probably play at Robert Morris' field at 11 a.m. or may play at Franklin at 2 p.m. We should know by Friday.
The winner of the game will play at seventh-seeded Montgomery April 28.
