Last year’s Immaculata baseball team was young. The Spartans had just one senior and won nine games.
This year’s team – many of them the same players as a year ago, just bigger, faster, stronger and better – has equalled that mark of nine wins. But they haven’t lost a game yet.
One of just three undefeated teams remaining in the Central Jersey Sports Radio coverage area – Spotswood (9-0-1) and South Amboy (6-0) of the GMC being the others – Immaculata puts that unblemished record on the line Tuesday afternoon when the Spartans (9-0) visit Watchung Hills (5-4-1) for a Skyland Conference Raritan Division game.

They key numbers to know, simplistic as it may sound, are batting average and ERA. This year’s team is hitting .348, a marked improvement over last years. .274 average. Troy Reboski is leading the team with a .538 average and 13 runs batted in, while Collin Kassai is hitting .520 and has knocked in eight runs.
At the same time, the Spartans’ team ERA is down from 4.44 to 1.84. And out of seven pitchers who’ve seen action this year, only three have surrendered a single run. Nick Bozzo, who gets the start Tuesday, is 2-0 with a 1.83 earned run average.
