We turn the calendar to April and take another trip around diamond for some great high school baseball action. Check back as the highlights are posted throughout the night!
Immaculata 2 Bridgewater-Raritan 1 (13 Innings)
The Spartans’ dream opening day came true as they downed the reigning Group 4 state champions in an extra-inning thriller. Freshman Luca Catanzarite went 3-4 on the day, but delivered his biggest hit in the bottom of the 13th inning. That hit was a base knock that turned walk-off RBI single to seal the win in a four-hour, 14-minute marathon game. Immaculata (1-0) leaned on their pitching staff – Ryan Auten and Cole Raymond combined for six of out of the 13 innings and had 14 of Immaculata’s 18 strikeouts. Bridgewater-Raritan (0-1) pieced together six hits in the loss and kept the game alive with an exciting play at the plate to close out the 11th inning.
