LEGENDARY COACH NANCY WILLIAMS RETIRES

By Eric Braun

West Long Branch - A tremendous run has finally come to an end in West Long Branch. Legendary coach and educator Nancy Williams has retired from teaching last year and from coaching this season.

She got her job back the following August when Shore Regional settled the case.

ure. All her accomplishments both on and off the field she holds dearly, but more importantly she holds great pride in being a positive fixture in the players she has helped grow during the years.

Williams, who started her teaching and coaching careers at her alma mater when she was 22 and right out of Trenton State College, never thought that this is where she would be after 44 years.

As quoted by the Asbury Park Press, Williams said, “I thought I would stay for 10 years as a coach. Then I started to say after this kid graduates, I would retire.

Before you knew it, we were into the 90s and I was still coaching.’’

During her illustrious career at Shore Regional, Williams also coached softball, girls’ basketball, track and field and swimming. Over this time period she compiled an impressive win-loss record with the majority of success coming in field hockey. Known as the best coach in the Shore Conference and State of New Jersey, Coach Williams is currently the All-time leader in wins in the United States in field hockey with an impressive record of 839-67-56.

During her interview for our Title IX coverage back in 2011, Nancy stated, “People look at our program and they see the success we have had on the field, but I look at what we have done off the field.” Nancy always took great pride in being a positive influence for all her players. Over the years players have become parents, educators, coaches and lawyers, but one thing remains the same…they are all still Blue Devils. For Nancy that eclipses any joy she received between the lines, watching how her ex-players have become positive influences to their families, communities and society.

Bennett Jackson Four years ago when I met him, he was rehabbing his ankle. I couldn't help but notice his focus and work ethic, as ankle rehab is quite tedious.

I introduced myself and told him about my vast experience in helping big time D1 kids get ready for the next level. He was involved in winter track at the time. I was impressed with his humility and easy going personality. I also expressed my enthusiasm in helping the Notre Dame recruit, as I am a lifelong Notre Dame fan. We hit it off and away we went.

Over the next 6 months, I tweaked his program to fit his needs as an in-season track athlete and got great results.

By the time he left high school, he had more muscle, strength and power. He was also posting some of the top times in the USA for the 110 hurdles, placing third at the nationals.

I remember watching his first special teams tackle on TV. He flew down the field like a rocket and made a big hit and, of course, I screamed at the top of my lungs. As the season went on he became the best Irish special teams player.

Recruited as a wide receiver, he made the switch to cornerback and after a learning year he got the starting job last year and showed his skill by helping his team back to national dominance. Now he’s a star with an NFL future and hopefully will be leading his team to the National Championship.

I have always kept in touch with him over the last 4 years, but as a D1 kid he doesn't get much time at home and when he does he takes it easy. So I haven't seen him, but a few times at the gym.

This past week he came to train for 4 days with the JMPOWER crew, which included my 11 year old who is a big

fan of Bennett and Irish Football since he was little.

The great thing to see is what a great young man he's growing into as I watched him interact with my children. Even with his fame he is still very humble and approachable; posing for pictures and chatting with all the kids. Of course his work ethic is still there and his enthusiasm for the grind is inspiring.

My son Aidan was so inspired by his presence that he had his best workouts in months while Bennett was there.

Aidan and I went with friends out to South Bend for his Senior Day. We got an all access tour of the facilities from strength coach Paul Longo and even got to see practice. Bennett’s friends from high school came out as well to surprise him and celebrate his great career playing for The Irish. We were thrilled to have breakfast the day after the game with him.

I was able to help him prepare for his pro day getting his bench press over 300 lbs while running a 4.37 4o. After a great combine and pro day the Jersey Boy’s dream came true. He has been drafted by The Giants, which, of course, is our family’s TEAM. For me as a coach, it is a dream come true as a diehard Giant fan. I know their strength coach and I have very similar styles (we’re both Montclair State Alumni). Jerry Pamlerri is a great guy and I’m happy he will be working with him.

Go Giants!!!

Good luck and God Bless Coach McAuliffe!!!!

PINELANDS WINS FIRST OCT SOFTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

By Eric Braun

Toms River - On a day of firsts for the 2014 Ocean County Softball Tournament Championship game between Pinelands Regional High School and Jackson Memorial High School, it was the Wildcats from Pinelands who would capture their first ever OCT Championship title with a thrilling 3-2 victory of the Jaguars from Jackson Memorial.

After Burke struck out swinging, Madison Dancisin followed with a one-out single to left field, Stas then reached on a throwing error that allowed Dancisin to advance to third and Stas to second. After a wild pitch scored Dancisim to tie the game, Healy lace the next pitch to left-center field scoring Stas to put Pinelands up 2-1.

The Wildcats came out tight in the first two innings and were lucky to be down only 1-0 at the end of two innings. With a combination of pre-game introductions, ceremonial first pitch and championship game nerves, coach Keith Lowe said, “We came out tight early, the distractions surrounding this championship game hit us pretty good.” Junior pitcher Naomi Stas escaped what could have been a disastrous start in the first inning when Jackson Memorial loaded the bases with no outs but were unable to score. The second inning the Wildcats got on board when Kayla Molnar executed a perfect sacrifice bunt that Stas attempted to play, but an errant throw allowed Sydney Calderon to score from second.

From here Stas would settle down and find her groove. On the day the junior hurler struck out seven, walked one and scattered seven hits over seven innings of work to improve her record to 17-2. Stas worked out of two major jams on the day one in the

Calderon struck out looking for the that, “they came too far to let their goal of winning second out, then Variello hit a ground-rule double the Ocean County Tournament slip away, we were to left field as the ball rolled into dead-ball territory OK only being down by one, and I had total faith advancing Molnar to third.

the Wildcats lead to 3-2. Stas very next pitch was grounded out Kurstin Binshedler to end the game.

Stas who all season long has earned her Shore Conference recognition as one of the top hurlers around, earned the Tournament’s Most Valuable Player award. As well deserved as it may have been, Coach Lowe’s challenge on a controversial play at first base in the top of the fourth inning and the Wildcats holding a 2-1 lead that could have made him the MVP. Shortstop Huber fielded a hot shot to her left and threw high to Emily Dancisin, taking her off the bag and allowing Calderon to score what everyone thought was the tying run. Lowe came out of the dugout and asked first base umpire John Werner for help. Werner conferred with home plate umpire Jimmy Griffin, and called Molnar out because, according to Lowe, he saw Dancisin tag Molnar before she crossed first base. But it appeared that when Dancisin tagged Molnar, it was after she had hit the bag, prompting Jackson Memorial coach Chris Roma to argue the reversal. Afterwards Lowe said, “It was the biggest part of the game, I saw a tag and I figured I'd give it a shot to ask the umpires for a second opinion, it was a gut check try that worked out for us."

Pinelands a couple days later added to their great season so far earning a share of B South along with Monsignor Donovan and also earned the #3 seed in the upcoming Shore Conference Tournament.

Ross Provenzano

Tuesday, April 29th sadly marked the sudden passing of Ross Provenzano, a truly beloved employee of the Oppenheimer, Red Bank office. He was a bright, dedicated, respected and successful financial advisor, and will be greatly missed by all of us in this office.

He was also the loving father of two beautiful children, Elena and Ross, two grandchildren, Catarina and Isla, and brother to Josephine, Mary, Dotty and Phillip.

Ross had a heart of gold and wore his emotions proudly on his sleeve because he was comfortable with who he was, and where he was from.

His honesty and his gentle nature made him easy to get close to, and sometimes drew him into situations and relationships that created comical material for the endless stories he would tell. And yes, the stories were plentiful, varied and to be honest Ross, sometimes endless!

It was once said that, “mediocrity is the firebrand of the content;“ however, this had no applicability to our friend and colleague. Contentment was not in his lexicon.

His life was a whirlwind of excite-

ment, adventure, commitment and complications. This confluence of traits ultimately defined who he was and why we all valued his friendship. Ross embraced life and love like a combat soldier, ready to march off to war.

St. Paul said, “I feel as if my life is being poured out like a libation, I have run the race, kept the faith, competed well, and now my time is at hand. The crown of righteousness awaits me.” We will never forget you Ross.

God speed to our friend! May the Lord hold you gently in the palm of his hand!

CBA HOLDS ON TO DEFEAT DIVISION FOE COLTS NECK IN MCT FINAL

By Mike Ready

Lakewood – After having already been eliminated from winning the Class A North Crown, Christian Brothers Academy achieved their next goal by beating division rival Colts Neck, 9-5, in Wednesday’s Monmouth County Tournament final at First Energy Park, Lakewood.

“This was our second goal. Obviously our first goal was to win the division,” CBA coach Marty Kenny said. “But when we didn’t, I told the team ‘there’s still a lot of baseball ahead of us.’ Now we’re going to set our sights on the Shore Conference Tournament and there’s no reason we can’t win that; we’ll worry about the states later.”

It was the No.8 seeded Colts (12-5, 8-5) ninth appearance in the MCT finals and sixth championship in program history; first since 2007. For the third-seeded Cougars (14-4, 10-3) it was their first ever MCT final appearance in the schools 16-year history.

CBA got to three Colts Neck pitchers for 13 hits, with eight of the nine starters having at least one hit and the top four hitters in the order combining for nine of the 13 hits.

Colts Neck, a come from behind team all season long, again battled back, scoring two runs in the fourth to pull within three, 7-4.

Kapuscinski drilled a two out single up the middle for two runs scoring Lou Rondinella and Varile Guiseppe, both of whom had singled.

CBA baseball - MCT champs Photo By: Eric Braun DeVitis’ glove for a hit, before Warendorf walked Ryan Ramiz and Brnadon Martorano to load the bases with two outs. Morgan then drilled a single up the middle scoring two runs for a 3-0 lead.

Colts Neck had loaded the bases with one out against CBA starting pitcher Mike Garvey in the top of the first, but Garvey got catcher Jordon Gonzalez on a pop up to second and struck out centerfielder Mike Antico. Before striking out, Antico just missed on liners down the first base line, with both missing by inches.

The Cougars did break through on Morgan with two runs in the top of the third to make it a one-run game. Catcher Jordon Gonzalez drilled a two-out double over Morgan’s head in right centerfield bringing home Tyler Kapuscinski, who had walked, and Gianni Magliaro, who had lined a single into right field.

However the Colts came right back, putting up four runs in the bottom of the third

to knock Warendorf out of the game and to break the game open.

The Colts had faced Warendorf earlier this season (April 17) beating him 3-2 and were familiar with his delivery.

“I definitely think it helped our guys a lot that they had seen him (Warendorf) before tonight,” Kenney said. “He has an unorthodox delivery, but he generates a lot of movement on his balls.”

Griffin Arnott came to bat with men on second and third with no outs and lined an opposite field two-run double down the third base line for 5-3 lead. One pitch earlier his shot to right field - that would have cleared the bases - was just foul.

After a strike out and ground out, Ramiz sent one to the wall in left field over the fielders head scoring Arnott and racing all the way to third for a RBI triple. Martorano brought him home with single between third and short for a five-run lead.

Matt Schaeffer, who had come on in relief of Warendorf with two outs in the third, tossed two scoreless innings in the fourth and the fifth to keep the game within striking distance for Colts Neck.

The Cougars pulled to within two runs in the top of the sixth on a Rondinella single, passed ball and a two out DeVitis RBI single that dropped into short right field. Morgan came on in relief of Garvey to retire the side on a line drive out to center field.

Garvey, who has developed into a solid No.2 starter for the Colts, had a workman-like effort and pitched better than the five earned runs he gave up would indicate. He threw 106 pitches in 5 2/3 innings for 69 strikes, struck out four and walked five.

“It feels great, I really wanted to settle into that second spot behind Luca (Dalarti),” Garvey said. “With this team it’s really easy to win. I didn’t pitch that great and they put up nine runs on the board for me. This is definitely the biggest game of my career so far.”

In the bottom of the sixth, CBA tacked on two insurance runs on four consecutive singles and HBP to push the lead to 9-5 heading into the top of the seventh.

Morgan, who went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored from the plate, remained in

the game for the seventh inning after getting the final out of the sixth on one pitch. After retiring the first batter on a lazy fly ball to left field, he walked the next two batters bringing out Kenney to try and settle him down.

“The first thing I told him was to just relax,” Kenney said. “I told him that the tying run is still in the dugout and don’t worry about the runners on base. I told him to settle down and just throw strikes like you normally do and put the ball in play.”

Kenney’s trip to the mound worked as Morgan bore down and struck out the next batter before retiring the game’s final batter on a 6-3 routine grounder.

“I’ve never really been in that position before,” said Morgan, who is in his first year as a pitcher. “To be on that mound and be able to win the championship is just a great feeling, there’s nothing better. Garvey threw a great game and I just wanted to get in and end it.”

Sophomore pitcher Luca Dalarti (7-0) was given the Most Valuable Player award in the tournament after winning two games. Many feel the Colts - 4-5 record when Dalatri’s not pitching - are beatable when he’s not on the mound, so Wednesday’s win proved big for a number reasons as they move forward in post season play.

In a strange twist, Colts Neck and CBA faced each other again on Thursday to complete their division schedule, with the Cougars shutting out the Colts 5-0. The win gives Colts Neck the outright Class A North championship, and a large dose of satisfaction after Wednesday night’s loss.

The Colts took a quick 3-0 lead, scoring one run in the bottom of the first and two in the second. With two outs in the bottom of the first, CBA strung together three-straight singles against Colts Neck starting pitcher Robbie Warendorf (4-2). First baseman John Moshella’s line-drive single up the middle brought home right fielder Will Morgan for the first run of the game.

With one out in the second, Andrew Buccellatto lined a shot off second baseman Sam

BULLDOGS DEFEAT CASEYS FOR 2ND STRAIGHT SHORE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT GIRLS LACROSSE TITLE

By Mike Ready West Long Branch – Senior midfielder Bridget Curran scored six goals and assisted on another in Rumson-Fair Haven’s 11-7 victory over arch rival Red Bank Catholic in Thursday’s Shore Conference Tournament final at Monmouth University’s Kessler Field.

Curran, a University of North Carolina commit, helped the Bulldogs win their second consecutive SCT championship for the first time in school history.

For the top-seeded Bulldogs, ranked No.7 in the Star Ledger top 20, it was their seventh trip to the SCT finals and third win overall, all under 11-year head coach Amy O’Keefe.

and bounced a shot past RFH goalie Anna Babiak for an unassisted goal.

A little over two minutes later, Cowley scored again from about ten yards out; putting it over Babiak’s left shoulder at 15:09. 2013 Asbury Park Press Player of the Year Grace Fallon worked the ball into Cowley for the assist.

Curran again handed the Bulldogs a two-goal lead scoring two goals in the next four minutes. Dunphy found Curran from behind the net for the first one and Curran scored unassisted on the next, working it inside with her back to

“We know it’s always going to be a battle when we play Red Bank Catholic,” O’Keefe said. “We kind of knew what to expect offensively, we know what Grace (Fallon), Maeve (Cowley) and Amanda (Casten) do, but my defense was all over the field.

They’ve been doing an amazing job all season, so we just trusted that and Anna (Babiak) made some huge saves for us.”

“We have a great defensive unit led by top senior Courtney Dunphy,” Curran said. “Our juniors have been huge and everyone works really hard. We put a lot of emphasis on defense; defense wins games.”

Curran got the Bulldogs on the board quickly, scoring an unassisted goal a minute and twenty seconds into the game to set the tone. Lehigh-bound attacker Nicolette Dunphy followed with an overhead shot for the score off a perfect pass from sophomore midfielder Morgan Steinhacker for a 2-0 lead.

That lead was erased 25-seconds later when the Cowley maneuvered inside

the goalie before she spun and flipped it past the goalie.

“Our game plan coming in was to maintain composure, hold the ball, be efficient and work on our transitions,” Curran said. “We made some mistakes but I think the most important thing was we regrouped after we messed up not allowing them to capitalize on our mistakes. Our attack has a really great

re-defend and that’s huge for us getting the ball back quickly.”

The first half ended with RFH up by two, 5-3, and second half began the same way as the first, with Curran and Dunphy scoring the first two goals of the half for a 7-3 lead.

And when you have a star player the caliber of Bridget Curran playing in one of the biggest games of her career in her final season, you’d expect her to step up and take control of the game at this point; Curran did just that.

Looking for some open space outside the slot about ten yards to the right of RBC goalie Sabrina Arbes, Curran turned and fired a shot over Arbes’ left shoulder for a no-doubt goal. Arbes

The Bulldogs ran the clock down to the 2:07 mark when Curran and Dunphy struck again. This time it was Curran setting up Dunphy for an unsurmountable 10-6 lead.

The Curran – Dunphy combination had a hand in nine of the Bulldogs 11 goals.

“I knew I had to step up more offensively this game,” Curran said. “I noticed their

goalie was coming out far, and we’re used to wrapping it around the crease and getting assists from behind the net.

We weren’t able to get those shots off with the goalie coming out, so I just took the chances when I was open up top.”

“Bridget read the goalie really well and realized she should rip it out further,” Scarrone said. “I went in a few times and she blocked me because I was shooting to close.”

“We’ve been playing together since we were little, so we see each other all the time all over the field,” Dunphy said. “We have a great connection on the field, and it’s going to be sad not playing with her next year.”

Swikart added the 11th goal with an assist from sophomore midfielder Madison Maguire for the final.

“The Shore Conference is just one of our goals,” Curran added. “This is just one step for us. We want to go all the way, hopefully win the states and get into the Tournament of Champions.”

The Bulldogs beat No.15 seeded Pope John 20-3 in the first round of the NJSIAA North Jersey Group II Tournament, and will host No.7 seeded Mahwah Monday, May 19.

BULLDOGS WIN RECORD FOURTH-STRAIGHT SHORE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP

By Mike Ready

WEST LONG BRANCH – Down 2-0 to Southern Regional three and a half minutes into the Shore Conference Tournament boy’s lacrosse final, Rumson Fair Haven’s senior-laden team scored six unanswered goals to take a 6-2 lead after one quarter en route to a 17-10 statement-making win Tuesday afternoon at Monmouth University’s Kessler Field.

The game wasn’t nearly as close as the seven-goal margin of victory indicated, as the No.1 seeded Bulldogs (14-3) thoroughly dominated the second-seeded Rams (15-2) in winning their Shore Conference Tournament record fourth-straight title - fifth overall - and improved to 57-1 versus Shore teams since 2011.

Senior midfielder Chris Sutphen (three goals) got the ball rolling rifling a high shot over goalie Brendan Lefanto’s far shoulder at 8:35 and Garavante (three goals) got the equalizer two minutes later circling the goal mouth from behind the net and sticking it in over Lefanto’s right shoulder.

You could feel the panic setting in on the Southern sidelines at this point. Then, when Sutphen netted his second goal of the quarter for a 3-2 Bulldog lead, panic had turned to shock.

With 18 seniors on the team, this Rumson squad, ranked No.20 in the Star Ledger poll, is loaded with talent as well as leadership, which touches each-and-every player donning a Bulldog uniform.

A holding call on the ensuing faceoff gave the Bulldogs the ball and senior midfielder Chris Hubler (four goals and one assist) took it all the way to the net and beat Lefanto for a 4-2 lead. A minute later at 4:10 senior attacker Colin Shea (two goals and two assists) scored on an overhand shot to put Rumson up by three before senior attacker Dominic Padula (three goals) spun with his back to the goal and wind-milled it past Lefanto for the 6-2 advantage after one quarter of play.

After falling behind, four different seniors scored in the first-quarter six-goal assault on the Rams, with sophomore attacker Robbie Garavante also chipping in a goal.

Six different players helped the Bulldogs go on a 16-4 run from the first quarter through the 8:30 mark of the fourth quarter when first-year head coach Andy Eastwood began emptying his bench.

Ranked ninth in the state by LAXPOWER and having won 15-straight games since their season opening 8-6 loss to Lenape, Southern was steam rolling through the Shore Conference averaging 15 goals a game with a 12-goal margin of victory. They’re an offensive juggernaut led by junior attackman Dylan Jinks, the Shore Conference’s leading goal scorer and fourth in New Jersey with 73 entering Tuesday’s game.

But it wasn’t to be for the Rams, for as good as the Bulldog offense was, the defense was just as good. Senior defenseman JT Jennings was given the unenviable task of guarding Jinks with the hope of slowing him down and preventing him from doing too much damage.

“We knew they were a good team and were going to come out strong,” Hubler, said. “ Every team goes on runs, and we knew we couldn’t get down on ourselves. We responded and went on a run too.”

The game was a rematch of last season’s SCT final, won by the Bulldogs 14-5, and the Rams had good reason to believe this would be their year.

Jennings shadowed Jinks the entire game and did just that. He kept the ball off Jinks stick and made him work hard for his shots, not giving up anything easy. Jennings held Jinks to two goals in the first half, one in the third quarter and one meaningless goal in the fourth. Jennings finished with four takeaways and two ground balls.

“That’s two high school All-Americans going at it. That’s a fun matchup to watch,” Eastwood said. “We play a team defense and we try to get the right matchups but we have confidence in all six guys that are out there at all times.”

“We knew he was the focal point of their offense and everything ran through him,” Jennings said. “We got a couple turnovers on him and he got a couple good looks, but at the end of the day we got the best of him.”

Senior midfielder Brian Patterson was in the middle of the action at both ends of the field making plays all day long and came up with five ground balls.

In addition, Southern’s faceoff specialists (FOGO) senior Bill Dowd (16 wins) and Rumson-Fair Haven FOGO Ryan Campbell (13 wins) competed fiercely in one of the best faceoff battles of the year.

“We had a lot of poise, we valued the ball and we worked our sets,” Eastwood said. “There’s a great foundation in the Rumson program. Eleven years ago we were working on fundamentals, now we’re doing a lot of sophisticated stuff; these kids have skill sets. We’re not going anywhere; we’re here to stay.

“Though rarely evident to us as consumers, the availability of cheese is directly linked to the lifecycle of the dairy animals whose milk it is made from,” she explains about the recent arrivals. “In early spring, we see the first births of these animals and the abundance of milk that comes with them.

CBA CREW GARNER THREE GOLDS AT THE MID-ATLANTIC JUNIOR DISTICT ROWING CHAMPIONSHIPS

By Eric Braun

Shore Conference - The two top female and male Asbury Park Press Players of the year for 2014 in basketball have both committed to the University of Notre Dame. Both Manasquan’s Marina Mabrey and Point Pleasant Beach’s Matt Farrell made their commitments to the Fighting Irish programs after both were highly recruited by numerous Division 1 programs.

Manaquan Junior Marina Mabrey made her commitment to Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw this month, ending a high recruitment that saw interests from the top Women’s Basketball programs in the nation including Tennessee, Baylor, Maryland, Duke and Louisville to name a few. Not only will McGraw be getting one of the top shooters from the state of New Jersey, but also a tough competitor and a proven leader.

Mabrey who is the Shore Conference reigning two-time player of the year will be joining fellow 2012 Tournament of Champions teammate, her older sister Michaela Mabrey.

Marina who transferred back to Manasquan after one season at Point Pleasant Beach High School, helped guide the Warriors this season back to the Tournament of Champions final before losing to Shabazz. Playing in only 20 games after sitting out for transferring mid-season, Marina averaged 21 points, 8 rebounds and 4 steals per game.

As she stated to app.com “I have 100 percent comfort there already and I haven’t even attended a class there yet,” said Marina Mabrey, who noted she has been to the campus three times. “It just feels like home to me already.” With her decision, Marina joins her fellow starting five TOC Championship teammates at the Division 1 level.

Katelynn Flaherty (Michigan), Sam Sullivan (Wagner), Amanda Hagaman (UMBC) and Michaela Mabrey (Notre Dame).

Point Pleasant Beach Senior Matt Farrell who, back in October originally committed to Boston College, changed direction and will be headed to the University of Notre Dame as well. Rate is the #12 player in New Jersey, Mike Brey and the Fighting Irish are getting a proven leader and versatile three-sport athlete.

This year’s Shore Conference boys basketball Player of the Year, Farrell averaged 20 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds and 4 steals per game in leading Point Beach to a 2-2 record. Over his four years as a starter, he has helped guide the Gulls to two B Central division titles (2013, 2014), two NJSIAA Central Jersey Group I titles (2013, 2014), Shore Conference Tournament title (2014) and the school’s first NJSIAA Group 1 state title (2013).

West Windsor, NJ - Following the Garden State Scholastic Rowing Championships in which CBA’s crew team secured five medals, including three state titles, the Colts continued their successful march towards the National Championships with an impressive showing at the Mid-Atlantic Junior District Championships.

SHIRLEY LIFTS SHORE TO MCT BLUE CHAMPIONSHIP

By Eric Braun

Wall - A roller coaster season continued for Shore Regional softball team today before they broke open their Monmouth County Tournament Blue Championship game against Freehold Boro and won 9-6.

The Blue Devils fell behind early and showed their heart and resolve and started to chip away at the 4-0 hole to the Colonials. In the top of the fourth inning Shore Regional woke up their bats and got a little help by some Colonial errors to tie the contest at 4-4.

Senior Lauren Shirley and sophomore Kaitlyn Herring took over from there and lifted Shore Regional to the title and improved their record to 6-14.

Shirley who in her senior season came up clutch for the Blue Devils in the championship game against Boro both in the fifth inning and in extra innings. In the top of the fifth with the game tied at 4-4, Lauren smacked just her third home run of the season into the wind over the right field fence. Then again with

her team needing a lift in the top of the eight inning after giving up a run with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, the senior showed great poise and belted a two-run single to left center field to give Shore an 8-6 lead.

The Blue Devils would tack on one more run to make the score 9-6 and then turned to sophomore hurler Herring to close out the game. In the bottom of the eighth inning with the heart of the Freehold Boro lineup due up, Kaitlyn settled down any nervous emotions she may have had and shut down her opponent 1-2-3. With the win, Kaitlyn picked up her first win of the season and her young varsity career. A gutsy call for coach Richard Santangelo to throw an inexperienced pitcher for the championship. Asked afterwards about his decision and thoughts on the team, Santangelo added, “Many teams sleep on our girls here because of our record and they don’t take into account the competition we have to face. This group of young ladies continued to battle all season and never quit. Herring

earned her right to be on the mound today and I gave her the opportunity to bring us home a title and she did.”

Shore Regional has no time to rest as they prepare to travel to South River Monday for the first round of the NJSIAA tournament.

SAINT JOHN VIANNEY WINS FIFTH STRAIGHT MCT SOFTBALL TITLE

By Mike Ready

WALL TOWNSHIP – Junior Ashley Ventura won her 20th game of the year, tossing a complete-game shutout in No.1 seeded Saint John Vianney’s 4-0 Red- division win Sunday versus second-seeded Manasquan in the finals of the Monmouth County Tournament.

The game - held at Wall Township High School marked the Lancers (20-1) ninth Monmouth County Tournament title and fifth in a row, both tournament records.

Ventura, who didn’t allow a hard-hit ball all day, gave up four-soft singles, didn’t walk a batter and struck out eleven in her seven-inning masterpiece.

The hard throwing righty stepped in as the numberone starter this season after first team All-State pitcher and Notre Dame-bound Katie Beriont suffered a season-ending ACL injury in the state basketball playoffs.

“When Katie got injured I cried for her, not our program,” SJV coach Kim Lombardi said. “I knew we had a kid like Ashley who’s a phenomenal pitcher who was waiting for her time. She’s an unbelievable pitcher that has confidence on the mound, never loses her composure and who’s getting stronger with her command of pitches. In my opinion, she’s as good as anyone in the Shore Conference right now.”

The game was scoreless heading into the top of the fifth with Manasquan (20-3) freshman-ace Victoria Glavin (18-3) squirming out of a couple jams in the second and fourth innings to keep the game scoreless.

In the fifth, leadoff hitter Michelle King lined a single into the left-center field gap before third baseman Marlena Bevilacqua’s bunt was misplayed into an error putting runners at second and third. Leadoff hitter Jackie Gallagher then broke the tie, dropping a two-run single into short right field for a 2-0 lead.

“Jackie’s been doing this for me for four years,” Lombardi said. “She’s been a consistent hitter in my lineup; she’s a team player and a leader.”

“Glavin’s a really great pitcher,” Gallagher said.

“We had to prepare all week for this game and forget about the Middletown South game; I think we did great. The loss to South definitely gave us more focus and I think it put us back on track for the post season run.”

Saint John Vianney tacked on two crucial insurance runs in the top of the seventh to give Ventura a little breathing room.

Gallagher led off with a walk and two batters later, right fielder Helena Coppola rolled a single down the first base line, putting runners on first and second with one out. Ventura walked to load the bases and Katie baron brought Gallagher home with a sacrifice fly to deep center field. An error by the shortstop brought home the second run of the inning pushing the lead to 4-0 heading into the bottom of the seventh.

In the seventh, Ventura gave up two bloop singles wrapped around two strikeouts before getting pinch hitter Ceci Barreda to tap into 1-4 ground out to end the inning and the game.

“Wins like this never get old,” Lombardi – in her 10th as head coach – said. “There’s always a new crop of kids and new experiences; these girls are doing a really nice job working hard for me.”

In the bottom of the sixth with two outs and the Lancers holding a precarious 2-0 lead, the Warriors Quinn Saito - hitting .720 - bounced a single past diving first baseman Megan Masi to bring the tying run to the plate, Shakyra Moore.

It was a classic showdown between Moore and Ventura. Moore, one of the top sluggers in the Shore Conference this season with eight home runs, two triples, 20 doubles and 41 RBI’s stepped to the plate looking to tie the game with one swing.

Ventura got two quick strikes on Moore before she got her looking on a called third strike for the final out of the inning and Lancers still nursing a 2-0 lead.

“I found her weakness and targeted it,” Ventura said. “I was throwing inside – outside and set her up with each pitch I threw. This feels great; it’s a good win to start off the tournament season. I’m very excited to continue on in the post season.”
