More stuff

Outstanding game tonight in Bridgewater with an outstanding crowd at Prince Rogers Field. Corey Frankosky of Bridgewater-Raritan and Nick McNamara of Somerville were both outstanding on the mound. McNamara, a senior, is an outstanding lefty, losing for the first time after five wins. Frankosky is just a junior.

Bridgewater-Raritan won the game 3-1 as Frankosky pitched a strong 6 2/3 innings. McNamara pitched a complete game, going six innings. McNamara deserved better. He gave up a long home run in the second inning to Rob Pennella, but the Pioneers defense failed him.

One of the players who had committed an error apologized to McNamara after the game and Nick was supportive. Good to see that kind of sportsmanship.

Bridgewater-Raritan played very good defense. Montgomery is the featured team in Monday's print editions. I dubbed Montgomery as a dark horse for the Somerset County Tournament. Maybe I should add Bridgewater-Raritan.

Remember, Union County Tournament seeds will be decided tonight in Clark. Cranford will be No. 1. Elizabeth No. 2. Westfield? The Blue Devils should be third as long as they beat Scotch Plains-Fanwood Monday afternoon. Roselle Park and Governor Livingston should round out the top five.

More later.
