PAL Thunder 9U All-Stars Softball Team Wins Championship

The team played undefeated in the four tournament games.

The East Windsor PAL Thunder 9U All-Stars softball team took home the win in the championship game held Saturday, going undefeated in all four games of the tournament.  During the final championship game, the girls beat Robbinsville Blue 13-1. Earlier in the week they beat Robbinsville Gold, Bordentown Gold and Robbinsville Blue in the double-elimination tournament.  “The girls played nearly error-free ball in the final game, and every player on the team hit the ball very well,” Manager Rob Bridgman said in an email.

Poll: Are Kids Getting Priced Out of Baseball and Softball?

A New York Times article explores the era of the $250 baseball bat.

Have you bought a baseball glove for your Little Leaguer lately? Did you pay more than $100 for it? How about a $250 bat? A New York Times story headlined "Big Price Tags Attached to Even the Littlest Leagues," looks at the big business of equipping youngsters for participation in youth baseball and softball leagues, quoting those costs and more. "A batting helmet protects tiny heads for $39.99," the Times reports. "A pair of Nike Jordan Black Cat cleats will make your child fast and fashionable at $51.99 until he or she outgrows them." So what do you think? Has the cost of bats and gloves taken our kids too far from the simpler days of sandlot and playground ballgames? Or have you had luck finding more modestly-priced equipment for them?

Hightstown Boys Cross Country Off to 7-1 Start

Mintz proves to be a key new runner.

The Hightstown High School boys cross country team is off to another great start. With its three wins in a quad meet on Sept. 27, Hightstown improved to 7-1 on the season. Hightstown defeated Allentown (20-38), Notre Dame (27-30) and Ewing (19-44). "This is kind of the same place we were last year," Hightstown Coach Tom McCafferty said. "We're 7-1 going into the weekend of the Shore Coaches Invitational." The surprising part of Hightstown's success is the Rams have been able to keep winning without Ashwin Narayan in the lineup. "He figured to be our number two runner and he is still hurt," McCafferty said. "We're hoping to get him back for the championship races." Fortunately, not all of Hightstown's luck has been bad. "Zander Mintz, a …

She played soccer, track and lacrosse.

If anyone ever wondered how to go from East Windsor to Collegeville, Pa., they can either go to Mapquest or they can just follow the Lenzo family. With two children set to be attending Ursinus College in the fall, the Lenzos have the route memorized. Jessica Lenzo will be entering the school as a freshman in the fall. Angela Lenzo, her sister, will be a senior at the school. "I didn't go there because of my sister, but that is how I found out about the school," Jessica Lenzo said. "I visited 10 or 11 other schools and I liked it better than all of them." Lenzo said she liked the way the campus looked. She liked the soccer team. She liked the science department. As it turned out, Lenzo and Ursinus both had impressive credentials and were a …
