We had a story on Thursday night's Somerset County Tournament final at Commerce Bank Ballpark in Saturday's paper.

Courier News Online - Baseball: Epic county final wasn't pretty, but it was fi

I'm going to post some comments from Hillsborough head coach Norm Hewitt about the county final over the weekend, so please feel free to check in. Also, there's a couple of other trivial type notes that I still haven't posted as yet.

Nice job by the Raiders for rebounding from the 12-11 crushing loss to Immaculata in the county final Thursday night by beating North Brunswick 7-1 Friday in the Central Jersey Group IV quarterfinals. They'll play host to South Brunswick Tuesday in the section semis. Hunterdon Central plays at Hamilton East in the other semifinal. Boy, a Central-Hillsborough final would be something.

The Skyland Conference Delaware East Division has yet to be won. Immaculata is on top in the division with a 15-0 record and has just one divisional game left -- against second-place Hillsborough. Hillsborough is 11-1 in divisional play -- its only loss to Immaculata 9-4. Hillsborough has four divisional games left -- two with Watchung Hills, one with Montgomery and another with Immaculata.

Eight schools are left in the state tournament, which will resume Tuesday with public school sectional semifinals. Middlesex (CJ I), Hillsborough, Hunterdon Central (CJIV), Immaculata (Non-Public A), New Providence and Somerville (CJII), Scotch Plains-Fanwood (North 2, III), Westfield (North 2, IV). We have a local matchup and one-near local. New Providence plays at White Oak Park in Branchburg against Somerville and Westfield plays at Phillipsburg.
