Rain -- please stay away

....


Seven days since my last post. Just a few thoughts about the week that was...

Immaculata hit six home runs in a 12-10 win over Phillipsburg at Cust Academy. Chaz Crane and Matt Marquis had two homers apiece. Marquis hit two homers in one inning.

Somerville left hander Ryan Zamorsky pitched a no hitter against Ridge Monday, a 3-0 Pioneer win. Zamorsky is having quite a season. He allowed one hit in six innings in the season-opener at Hackettstown.

North Hunterdon senior righty Jason Knapp has pitched well in both starts against HIllsborough and Warren Hills, but the Lions' bullpen imploded after he left and Knapp didn't get a decision in either game -- a win over Hillsborough and a eight-inning loss to Warren Hills.

Watchung Hills is 5-0. The Warriors have mercy-rule wins over Ridge and Franklin, an 8-0 win over previously-unbeaten Warren Hills Thursday and a 7-2 win over Montgomery.

Montgomery is 0-4. Three of the Cougars' losses have been to strong teams -- Immaculata (4-0), Watchung Hills (5-0) and Hunterdon Central (4-1).

South Hunterdon got its first win of the season at Manville Thursday after opening with losses to Bernards and North Plainfield. South scored six runs in the top of the seventh to win 7-4.

Bridgewater-Raritan got its first win for first-year coach Max Newill, beting Franklin 8-6. Got to feel for Franklin. The Warriors (0-3-1) let a 9-0 lead slip away Thursday in a game that eventually turned into a 10-10 tie that took eight innings. The game was called because of darkness.

"It sure felt like a loss,'' Warrior coach Bill Nickel said.
