Whether it’s clear enough to see it or not, a decision was made a couple of weeks ago to push off the start time of Monday’s GMC Red Division game between Old Bridge and St. Joseph-Metuchen. But that meant moving the game to Old Bridge, since the Falcons’ home field doesn’t have lights.
And so, after a 4-0 Knights’ road win on Saturday – in a game played in Linden on turf after a week of rain across Central Jersey left puddles all over natural grass playing surfaces and dirt infields – the two teams will square off Monday at 6:30 at Fred Cole Field, in a game you can hear on Central Jersey Sports Radio.
Mike Pavlichko and Vin Ebenau will call all the action, with pregame at 6:15, and first pitch at 6:30 pm. Click here to listen to the live broadcast for free!
The Knights (3-1) are the defending Central Jersey Group 4 champions, and made it all the way to the state finals last season, falling to Ridgewood in the Group 4 final in Hamilton. They have a wealth of pitching back and are expected to contend for the division, county and state titles again this season.
St. Joe’s is off to an 0-2 start, with losses to one ranked team (North Brunswick) and one un-ranked team (Monroe) that now finds itself in the Top Ten, after they also knocked off the Raiders.
