Middlesex Baseball, 2024. (Submitted photo)
At 2-5, the Middlesex baseball team’s season wasn’t going the way they’re used to it going in those parts.
But this week may be the turning point for a Blue Jays’ squad that only has one senior.
After a tough, 4-3 home loss to 6th-ranked and undefeated Woodbridge and Barron’s ace Eddy Nunez on tax day Monday, Middlesex came right back and got em on the road, in a 4-3 come-from-behind win.
Freshman Dominic Long went the distance while his team chipped away at a 3-0 lead Woodbridge had after the first tinning. They got one in the third, another in the fifth, then two in the top of the seventh and held off the Barrons in their last at bat.
If head coach Justin Nastasi liked what he saw against the GMC White Division’s top team in Monday’s loss, then he liked Tuesday’s result even more. Thursday, his team will visit Edison – the second place team in the White – and likely face another top ace, Coastal Carolina commit Jaxon Appelman.
You can hear that game on Central Jersey Sports Radio Thursday afternoon at 4 pm – again, weather permitting, with showers possible in the afternoon – with Mike Pavlichko and Dylan Allen on the call. Pregame starts at 3:45. Click here to listen.
