Not exactly a day at the Beach from Pompton Lakes in the #NJbaseball Group 1 final. But if you're keeping score, they're still plus-4 in run differential between the 2 state finals they've split with Point Pleasant Beach. 🐦⚾️

Sean Sailer (double) scores on RBI squeeze bunt by Hudson Ferrando. Ferrando scores on Alex DeSimone sac fly. Another GL error that inning, their 4th of the game

GL ties it after a runner gets HBP. Sound familiar? Zach Geertsma with his 2nd RBI of the day, although Rams LHP Joe Scarnecchia has only allowed 2 hits (61 pitches)

Again, anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better stuff:
T3 GL turns a 6-6-3 DP, although a Ram run scores
B3 Rams get a line drive to SS Sean Sailer & double off runner at 1st, 6-6-3.

Things are getting wacky in the final of our quadrupleheader. Rams' Connor McNally reaches on leadoff HBP, moves up when 2 errors happen on 1 fielder's choice and scores on a GIDP.

A game of "Simon says" has broken out. Ramsey 7-hitter gets on to lead off T3, scores on sac fly by 1-hitter Roberto Cotes.
GL 7-hitter gets aboard to lead off B3, scores on sac fly by 1-hitter Zach Geertsma

After both starters retired the first 6 batters, Ramsey breaks through. Alex DeSimone leads off with the 1st hit of the game, comes around to score on Roberto Cotes' sac fly.

On to the #NJbaseball Group 2 final, with Ramsey (21-8) taking on 2X reigning champ Governor Livingston. GL started its run with a win over Pascack Valley two years ago.
1st inning, Highlanders RHP Reid Bazydlo gets the Rams 1-2-3. Your turn, Ramsey LHP Joe Scarnecchia

Garnet Gulls add 2 on a fielder's choice (runner beat throw home) & Antonio Acevedo RBI squeeze bunt on which no one covered 1st.
Getting eerily close to a reverse of the 2024 score...

Top 5, Point Beach goes to the bullpen for senior LHP Tommy Conroy, who comes in from CF. And throws 4 pitches to get 3 outs.
Mid 5: PPB 8, Pompton Lakes 4. Garnet Gulls starter Bennett Moberg 4 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 2 K w/68 pitches

We were wondering how that 6th run scored... 7th on Antonio Acevedo RBI single, 8th on Davin Marquez RBI single (after PL went to the bullpen).
End 4: Point Beach 8, Pompton Lakes 4. Cardinals starter Tim Riche threw 81 pitches in 3.2 IP
Carson Pfeiffer lines a 1 out single to right with a runner on 2nd. The run scores when the relay throw gets stuck under the catcher's chest protector.

So, maybe it's *not* going to be 20-18 as press-box folks were guessing. Garnet Gulls RHP Bennett Moberg at 68 pitches
