Timely hitting, pitching, send Old Bridge past No. 7 South Plainfield, 9-3, and put Knights ahead of Tigers in GMC Red Matt Chin and Adrian Lutomski each knocked in three runs and Erich Schikschneit pitched 4 2/3 solid innings in his first start of the season Thursday, as Old Bridge got past South Plainfield, 9-3, in a GMC Red Division game at Fred Cole Field heard on Central Jersey Sports Radio. It was that mix of the big hit in the right spot - including a four-run fourth where the Knights batted around - and pitching out of jams that gave the Knights the win, moving them just ahead of South Plainfield in the division with three weeks to go before the GMC Tournament seeding meeting on May 8th.

As GMC Red beats each other up, Old Bridge and South Plainfield tussle in Friday matchup at Fred Cole Field With the exception of Edison - which is playing some excellent baseball right now - the entire Red Division in the Greater Middlesex Conference has been beating itself up. After the first-place Eagles at 7-1, the next five games are no more than one or two games over or under .500 as we near the end of Week Three of the season.

Top four stay the same, led by Immaculata, Ridge, in Bellamy & Son Paving Week 2 baseball rankings There was much more stability in the Bellamy &amp; Son Paving Top Ten for Week 2 of the high school baseball season, with the top four teams remaining right where they are. There was minimal movement below that, with Monroe rising and Watchung Hills joining the rankings after a 3-0 week, knocking out Bernards.

A new No. 1 baseball team in the Bellamy & Son Paving Top Ten, while a tumultuous week adds four new clubs to the mix There were some great games, big wins, and some pleasant surprises through the first week of the high school baseball season in New Jersey. And while there's a lot more baseball to be played, there are four new teams joining the Bellamy &amp; Son Paving Top Ten in Week One, with a brand-new No. 1 team. St. Joseph-Metuchen - last year's GMC Tournament champion at 16-7 - has gotten off to a surprising 0-4 start.

Through first week – and them some – these high school baseball teams have started the season red hot The high school baseball season is already a week old, though a few got started a little earlier than most, but more than a few have started the 2026 campaign red hot. Some were expected, others have turned out to be pleasant surprises. And that could juggle our first in-season Bellamy &amp; Son Paving Top Ten, the Week One edition of which comes out Monday morning.

No. 5 Edison forces extras, then walks it off on Lutz single in 8th to top No. 7 South Plainfield 5-4, in wild finish to battle of unbeatens Early on, even though the home team scratched across a run in the first, it looked like No. 5 Edison and No. 7 South Plainfield would be tangled in a pitchers' duel on a beautiful Saturday morning on the red turf along the Boulevard of Eagles. Jayden Jiminez settled in for the Tigers, pitching to contact.  Edison's Dom Innocenti struck out five of the first six batters he faced.

Defending GMC, SCT champs St. Joseph-Metuchen, Immaculata open season at No. 1, No. 2 in Bellamy & Son Paving preseason Top Ten It's never easy to predict how any high school team - in any sport - will do from year-to-year, what with graduation losses and unproven talent. The year before can be a guide, but who knows who a new group will respond, or if a new coach will reignite a program that struggled the year prior. That said, it's not where you start, it's where you finish, and last year's teams will mainly get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the preseason Bellamy &amp; Son Paving High School Basketball rankings.

No. 8 South Plainfield gets outstanding D, scoring from Vaca, Bena in first win over Colonia since 2005, snapping 23-game skid It was mid-fourth quarter. South Plainfield's Justin Vaca was looking to make a pass, and he lobbed the ball with his right hand toward the basket. Was it an alley-op? A pass to someone cutting in the back door? It ended up going through the basket, a three-pointer to boot. That wasn't the intent, but that's kind of the way things went for the 8th-ranked Tigers Tuesday night, in a 56-42 win over visiting Colonia in a GMC crossover game heard live on Central Jersey Sports Radio..

Well, JP Stevens can do them one better. The Hawks lost four starters to graduation and have just two seniors on the roster, with two sophomores and a freshman in the starting five.
