Bridgewater-Raritan’s Crimmins tosses a no-no, Immaculata wins on a walk-off, and Watchung Hills outlasts Rutgers Prep with 11th inning walkoff on a wild day in the SCT quarterfinals

It was an exciting day in the Somerset County Tournament quarterfinal round Thursday, which had a little something for everybody.

Top-seed Bridgewater-Raritan advanced to Monday’s semifinals with an 11-0 win over 8-seed Montgomery, with Owen Crimmins pitching a no-hitter in a five-inning ten-run rule victory.

The Panthers will be seeking their first trip to the finals since they lost 4-3 in 12 innings to Hillsborough in the 2012 title game.

Bridgewater-Raritan’s opponent in the semis will be fourth-seed Watchung Hills. The Warriors got by 13th-seed Rutgers Prep – which had logged six straight upsets dating back to last year, when they won the SCT as a 12-seed – in eleven innings, with a 1-0 win on a walk-off, two-out, bases loaded single by Jacob Jaconsky.

It was a pitcher’s duel of epic proportions as starters Max Treonze for Prep and sophomore Rob Centamore battled it out, Centamore throwing nine innings, allowing just three hits, and striking out nine.

Somerville tied it up, but Immaculata walked it off in the seventh, winning it 3-2. It was a pitcher’s duel, as the teams combined for just seven hits.
