The Huskies fell to RBR on Thursday by a score of 9-8. Matawan couldn’t over come a 7 run Buc 4th inning which propelled them to victory. One of the bright spots for the Huskies was the pitching of RJ Clifton who threw 3 innings of scoreless relief, a great sight for a young man who missed all last season due to arm injury.

Huskies with a nice win over RBR 14-5. Danny Hirujo earned his first win of the season and Timmy Egan battled for 3 innings for the 9 out save. A team effort all around. Ben Palumbo, Jackson Hercek, Christian Rivera and Chris Gendi each had multiple hits to pace the offense.
