Defending Central Jersey Group 4 champion Old Bridge joined two other top seeds from the Central Jersey Sports Radio coverage area – South Plainfield and Bridgewater-Raritan – in advancing to sectional semifinal play in the NJSIAA state tournament Wednesday afternoon.
Monroe, Colonia, Middlesex and Ridge also advanced, while South Brunswick, Sayreville, Carteret, South Amboy and Edison were eliminated.
North Jersey, Section 2, Group 3:
It’ll be a GMC crossover matchup in the semifinals, with top-seed South Plainfield out of the Red Division taking on fifth-seed Colonia out of the White.
The Tigers (21-5-1) took a 6-2 decision from 8-seed Cranford Wednesday, as Zack Robinson had a monster game, 2-for-3 with three runs batted in on a double and a triple. Starting pitcher Kevin Penny held things down out on the mound, throwing 5 1/3, scattering five hits and allowing two earned runs, while striking out six.
South Planfield head coach Scott Gleichenhaus talks about the Tigers’ win over Cranford.
