Saturday

The Union County Tournament final has been moved to Sunday night at 8 p.m. at Memorial Field in Linden. Rain was the culprit. It'll be Cranford and Governor Livingston. GL is hoping to win its first county title. We'll cover it.

Hunterdon Central did what was expected Saturday afternoon -- the Red Devils whipped Voorhees 11-1 to win the 21st annual Hunterdon/Warren Tournament. Central beat Voorhees 8-0 and 9-6 during the regular season. Red Devils' left fielder Derek Goreczny had an interesting day -- three runs scored, a single, a hit by pitch and walk. Every Red Devil reached first at least once. Central scored its fourth run without a hit in the fourth. Kevin Flammia led off with a walk and courtesy runner Matt Sanquini replaced him at first. Sanquini stole second, moved to third on a groundout to first and scored on Sean Deegan's flyout to left.

Voorhees did a great job to get to the final, but Central had too, too much. Central opens the CJ IV Tournament Monday against Middletown South. Central (19-5) has an opportunity to go far since it has the kind of pitching depth needed. Voorhees played without two starters - senior rightfielder Brian Best (broken hand) and junior center fielder Billy Weiss (coach's decision).

Voorhees, which is 6-13, has two regular-season games left.
