How about Voorhees?
The eighth-seeded Vikings knocked off top-seed and defending champion Phillipsburg in the Hunterdon/Warren Tournament quarterfinal.
The Vikings won 8-2 and will now meet fifth-seed Delaware Valley in the Hunterdon/Warren semifinals Saturday. Del Val had its own "upset" beating fourth-seeded North Hunterdon 4-0. Sixth-seeded Hackettstown beat third-seeded North Warren, which means second-seed Hunterdon Central gets sixth-seed Hackettstown Saturday. Hackettstown knocked off third-seed North Warren.
So three of the four lower seeded schools moved on.
Don't don't count Voorhees out. The Vikes are 4-10. They are out of the Skyland Conference division race, and have been eliminated from making the state playoffs. The only thing they have left is the Hunterdon/Warren.
We'll have a look at Voorhees' whacky week in Monday's notebook. Some weird stuff happened during the week for the Vikings like finishing its loss to Bridgewater-Raritan with just eight players on the field and coach Spark Mattson catching Ridge in a batting out of order sequence.
All four higher seeds won in Somerset County -- fourth-seed Watchung Hills, third -seeded Hillsborough, second-seed Somerville and top seed Immaculata. They all have left-handed seniors as their aces.
It looks like it'll be an all lefty semifinal matchup at Commerce Bank Ballpark May 15th. Hillsborough lefty Mark Andrews against Somerville lefty Nick McNamara. Immaculata lefty Sean McKeown against Watchung Hills lefty Joe Giaimo.
