Diamond classic change

Hillsborough baseball coach Norm Hewitt reported Friday night that since the Raiders' junior varsity field was unplayable that the team's annual "Diamond Classic" Saturday will now only include the host team, Hoboken and John F. Kennedy.

Immaculata, which was scheduled to be the fourth team, will instead play John F. Kennedy at the Cust Baseball Academy in Raritan Township at 5 p.m. followed by a 7:30 game with Spotswood.

Hillsborough will play host to Hoboken at 10:30 a.m. , then play Kennedy at 1 p.m.

Both Hewitt and Immaculata head coach Tom Gambino are desperate to play some games. With a Nor'Easter scheduled to hit the area Sunday, it's likely games on Monday and Tuesday will be off because of poor field conditions. Immaculata and Hillsborough have played only two games so far and the Somerset County Tournament is supposed to be seeded Wednesday.
