The Hunterdon/Warren Tournament semifinals were played today, and went off as expected.
HUNTERDON CENTRAL 5, VOORHEES 1
Jenna Carmon threw a three-hitter – allowing just one unearned run – and went 2-for-3 with a two-run double in Central’s win
Annmarie Forenza and Andrea Tarashuk also had RBI for Central.
Shawnee Bernstein had two hits for Voorhees.
Thanks to the anonymous reader who posted here that I nailed the score in my predictions. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t mentioned it. As for the smile on my face when the game ended, that probably had more to do with the fact that I was relieved I would no longer have to deal with the gnat infestation that settled on and around the softball field at HCRHS.
NORTH HUNTERDON 4, WARREN HILLS 0
The Lions obviously learned their lessons after last year’s upset as Jenna Gonzalez posted her 11th shutout.
Sophomore catcher Sam Rayhon had two doubles and three RBIs for North Hunterdon, while sophomore designated hitter Blair Curzi also doubled twice and drove in a run.
It’s Hunterdon Central vs. North Hunterdon in next Saturday’s final (11 a.m. at HealthQuest).
It will mark the third time in the past five years these two teams met for the championship (they split the first two meetings).
Look for a preview of this game next Saturday in the Courier News and on MyCentralJersey.com
UNION COUNTY TOURNAMENT NOTES
I haven’t confirmed the fate of the other three games, but the Roselle Park/Westfield tilt has been postponed until Tuesday.
SOMERSET COUNTY TOURNAMENT FINAL
In case your local newsstand was sold out of today’s Courier News and you missed the preview package on the county final, the second part of it can be found online at MyCentralJersey.com/sports
Don’t ask me what happened to the first half of the story, or the rest of what went with it. The new Web site is a work in progress and we’re still trying to work out the kinks.
The result of tonight’s game WILL NOT be in Sunday’s paper – due to early Saturday deadline – but we will have complete coverage on MyCentralJersey.com. Expect a game story to be up about an hour or two after it ends.
I will, of course, post a brief recap here as soon as I get back to the office from the game.

Ah you found Centrals secret weapon at the swamp, gnats. A new swarm is released before every game haha. In reality, Central is a very balanced team that hits all the way through the lineup and normally fields very well too.
