North Hunterdon’s Pitching, Defense Powers Win over Hillsborough
After a rocky start to the 2022 season, North Hunterdon (5-5) has settled in and found their groove. Their latest victory, a 4-2 win over Hillsborough (2-2), extended their winning streak to four consecutive games. Freshman Camryn Campbell was stellar in the circle. She tossed a complete game with seven strikeouts while her defense helped with a number of heads up plays throughout the course of this Skyland Conference showdown. The Lions plated all four runs in the first inning and rode the lead from that point on.

Aaron Kurzer, Brandon Teresa, Noah Fox and Michael Conrad all won by pin for Montville. Carson Barry, Alex Jones, and Samuel Carsillo won by major decision for the Knights in the loss. Montville wins their first ever Group Title. JSZ’s Kenneth Bradley has the highlights from Toms River: North Hunterdon 34 Kingsway 22 | Group 4 Final Does is get any better than perfection?
