Dramatic 2-Run Single Boosts Westfield 11U over SOM, 10-9
“Three” became a charm for the Westfield Black 11U in its New Providence Green League, second-round playoff game against the South Orange- Maplewood Cougars. After lightning forced a postponement at Gumbert Field 2 in Westfield on July 16, the game was shifted to July 17 only to be postponed again due to the threat of lightning but the venue was shifted to Gumbert Field 3 and this time, the Westfield Black would emerge victorious with a key two-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning to edge the Cougars, 10-9.
