On the opening day of the NJSIAA state baseball tournament, 15 teams advanced to the sectional quarterfinal round later this week.

Top-seed Ridge was among those advancing, while Spotswood scored a walk-off win in eight at home against Monmouth. They got in when Breckyn DeAngelis hit a chopper to the left side that the Falcons’ third-baseman charged on, but threw wild to first base, allowing Ryan Orth to score from second on the play.
