The 2021 softball season was much anticipated after no play last year and teams gave fans much to cheer about as JSZ captured the best walk-offs, strike outs, comebacks and much more from around the diamond in New Jersey. Capping off our summer recap series, here is the Top 10 softball games of the year. No. 10: Verona wins it in 12! A marathon between Mahwah and Verona to reach the NJSIAA Group 2 Softball Final ended after twelve innings when a close play at the plate led the Hillbillies to victory on 6/15. Jay Cook has all the action: No. 9: Sophia Mount K’s 15 to reach Group 4 Final In her first Varsity season, Livingston freshman Sophia Mount pitched a 15 strike out, two hit gem to advance the Lancers to the Group 4 Final on 6/15. Nery Rodriguez was on the call: No. 8: Cranford reigns supreme in Union County Cranford hoisted its first Union County Championship in nearly two decades following a 12 strike out performance from Morrigan Gardiner on 5/27. JSZ’s Nery Rodriguez recaps the evening: No. 7: Clayton Lady Clippers are finally State Champions Clayton had a memorable 2021, the Lady Clippers went 28-2 for their best season in school history and Meadow Lake’s one hitter, 10 strike outs led Clayton to the Group 1 State Championship, the program’s first on 6/17. JSZ’s Jay Cook has the highlights: No. 6: Morris Catholic parties like it’s 1986 Morris Catholic’s 35 year wait for a State Title ended on 6/18 when the Crusaders defeated Lodi Immaculate 11-1 for the Non-Public B Championship. Jay Cook recaps the evening: No. 5: Robbinsville takes Group 2 Final No strangers to Championship hardware, it was an unexpected season for an underclassmen heavy Robbinsville team as they entered the Tournament of Champions for the first time since 2018, following their Group 2 Final win on 6/17. JSZ’s Nery Rodriguez has the call: No. 4: Livingston walks off with Group 4 Title in 8 Livingston fought for their right to celebrate the program’s first ever State Championship with an eight inning 3-2 Group 4 Title win over Hillsborough on 6/19. JSZ’s Rich Chrampanis was there for all the action: No. 3: Donovan Catholic leaves no doubt as NJ’s best team in TOC Final There was not much debate as to who was the best team to end the 2021 season. Donovan Catholic went 29-1 with their best performance coming in the Tournament of Champion Final on 6/20. The Griffins bested Livingston 18-5 with 17 runs coming in the third inning. Rich Chrampanis has the call: No. 2: Metzger pitches Colts Neck to Group 3 Championship Ava Metzger left no doubt as the Garden State’s premiere pitcher. The Colts Neck senior and Gatorade’s Player of the Year struck out 320 batters in 2021 with eight coming in the Cougar’s 2-0 win over Cranford in the Group 3 State Final for their first ever title on 6/18. JSZ’s Rich Chrampanis was there: No. 1: Adriana Romano’s 6 RBI’s leads epic comeback for Non-Public A Title Hope seemed lost for Donovan Catholic as the Griffins were down to their last out, trailing by three in the bottom of the seventh of the Non-Public A Final. Adrian Romano having already hit one home run, belted a second with two base runners on to tie the game as Donovan Catholic would go on to win 8-7 in 10 innings. Romano went 3-4 for six RBI’s and also racked up eight strike outs while allowing just one earned run in relief. JSZ’s Nery Rodriguez has the highlights and postgame reaction from Seton Hall University:

We continue our summer recap series with a look at the top 10 hockey games captured by JSZ cameras! There were no state playoffs and no trips to the Rock on the ice in 2021, but the New Jersey high school hockey season provided plenty of championship moments thanks to Conference cups. JSZ looks back on the top 10 games from the 2021 season: #10 Manasquan scores late to earn tie at RFH Michael Farinacci scored with 28 seconds to go in regulation to give Manasquan a 2-2 with Rumson-Fair Haven in a matchup of two Shore Conference powers.

Colin Grable came through with the equalizer. JSZ’s Jay Cook has the action from North Jersey #5 Seton Hall Prep ends long skid against Delbarton For 15 years, Delbarton’s icers had the number of Seton Hall Prep until the Pirates put forth an impressive 5-1 win over the then #5 ranked team in the state. JSZ’s Jay Cook was there for the big moment for SHP #4 Don Bosco Prep Dominates in Gordon Cup Title Game While there was no state championship, the Ironmen left no doubt who the top-ranked hockey team was in 2021 following a 5-0 win against Gloucester Catholic.

JSZ’s Jay Cook was on hand for the championship drama #2 Silverman Wins Kelly Cup in Double OT The Kelly Cup became a marathon in a back and forth epic game between Governor Livingston and Cranford. Brady Silverman scored the game-winner in double overtime. JSZ’s Rich Chrampanis was on hand for an epic battle #1 Ducalo Wins CVC with 0.1 on the Clock Robbinsville’s Mitchell Ducalo had the closest thing to a hockey buzzer-beater when he scored with 0.1 on the clock to give the Ravens a 5-4 win over Notre Dame to claim the CVC championship.

Robbinsville’s Devon Witt hits grand slam in seventh to hold off Steinert!
Robbinsville 9 Steinert 5 It was one of the must see softball matchups of the year as reigning Tournament of Champions Winner’s No. 8 Steinert hosted No. 7 Robbinsville. These two programs have both brought home State Title’s the past few seasons and Wednesday morning’s matchup proved why. After scoring the first run of the game Robbinsville tried to play catch up with the Spartans as they would lead 6-3 thanks to not one, but two homeruns from Catcher Alex Haley. However, in the top of the seventh inning while trailing 7-5 and the bases loaded Devon Witt having already driven in two runs earlier hit a grand slam to give the Ravens a 9-5 lead. Her shot to right field would ultimately be the deciding factor. Robbinsville’s Olivia Moser also collected her 100th career hit and went 2-4 including a homerun of her own.
