In the wee small hours of late Saturday night.....

Kind of strange day at Ridge, but the Red Devils worked hard to get their field in shape. And the Red Devils beat Manville 12-2 in a Somerset County Tournament pre-quarterfinal game. Ridge plays at fourth-seeded Watchung Hills Saturday.

The track was slow and the outfield soggy and it seemed like everything that was hit hard in the air just died.

Manville did have its good cuts against sophomore Kyle Burdi -- junior Anthony Palovick hit two long flyballs to that senior centerfielder Zach O'Connor-Robol chased down.

Over in the Hunterdon/Warren Tournament, Voorhees stopped a seven-game losing streak by beating Belvidere. The Vikings, the eighth seed, will play at No. 1 Phillipsburg Saturday.

Montgomery evened its record at 6-6 by beating Franklin 13-3 to earn a trip to Branchburg Saturday to play unbeaten and second seeded Somerville. That game looks like the most attractive of the four quarterfinal games.

Is there a better left side of the field than Immaculata's third baseman Chaz Crane, shortstop Tom Burke, left fielder Frank Florio and center fielder Matt Marquis?
