Cranford 1 Gov. Livingston 0 | Union County Tournament Final

Freshman Brayden Fry delivered the biggest hit of his young high school career Monday night when he smashed a walk-off RBI double lifting the Cougars to their second-straight county title. Top-seed Cranford (21-0) is the final undefeated team in New Jersey and showed many times throughout this game why that’s the case. Sean Woodruff tossed seven shutout innings with three strikeouts to keep second-seeded Gov. Livingston (16-5) at bay. Highlanders’ starter Johnathon Schmidt’s only major blemish was giving up that RBI double in the bottom of the seventh inning – he struck out six batters in the loss.

Red Bank Catholic 4 Middletown North 2 | Shore Conference Tournament Quarterfinal

Dylan Passo broke a 2-2 tie in the third with a 2-run single that proved to be the game-winning hit and Steve Svenson threw six shutout innings after giving up two runs in the first for a complete game 5-hitter to give the Caseys a spot in the Shore Conference Tournament semifinals. The Caseys will face rival CBA for a spot in Sunday’s championship game this Thursday.
