GILL WINS!

Gill St. Bernards won what it is believed to be its first-ever Somerset County Tournament game. The Knights beat Pingry 5-2.

Andy Williams hit a three-run homer in the fifth to give the Knights a 3-2 lead and John Strony provided an outstanding, 11-strikeout performance. Strony left after hitting a batter to start the seventh. Williams closed it out.

Gill plays at No. 5 Bridgewater-Raritan next Saturday in the SCT second round.

Strony is a Lebanon resident.

Bound Brook, the 14th seed, beat No. 11 North Plainfield 11-0 and plays at No. 6 Ridge Saturday. No. 10 Montgomery, a 10-0 winner over No. 15 Manville, plays at No. 7Bernards.

I didn't make picks for the first round games, but I wouldn't have picked Bound Brook and Gill St. Bernards. Probably not anyway.
