The Major League Baseball season is only a couple of weeks old but here’s a quick assessment of our local teams. The Mets still don’t hit when they have runners in scoring position, the Yankees pitching has been disappointing and the new stadium is a home run haven and the Phillies have to be worried about ace Cole Hamels and their pitching staff. By the way there are 150 games left to play.
Sunday was quite a day for Monmouth University senior baseball player Mike Casale. The Toms River North graduate had a career-high four hits, including his first two home runs of the season and drove in a career-high 8 runs in the Hawks 15-6 win over Wagner. Casale is the son of Central Regional High School Athletic Director Vince Casale who I’m sure is one proud father.
Ocean County College women’s softball coach Ilene Cohen collected her 350th career victory as the Vikings split a doubleheader with Sussex County Community College. Cohen coached at Middlesex for many years before coming to OCC where she is in her 7th season.
The Jackson Memorial High School baseball team concluded an impressive weekend with an 11-0 six-inning win over Cranford Sunday in the Roselle Park Tournament. Kevin Matthews allowed just three hits for the 8-0 Jaguars who on Saturday topped Class A South favorite Toms River North
behind Kevin Needham. Coach Frank Malta has the Jaguars playing very well.
How about a little love for the Toms River South Girls Lacrosse team, one of the real surprises at the shore this spring. The Indians of Coach Cathy Homiek are 7-0 after topping Jackson 12-9 Saturday behind a 7-goal effort from sophomore Meredith Kalinowski. This week includes a Thursday night showdown with Toms River North.
