The South Orange Villagers took the field today vs The Flemington Neshanock in the annual 19th Century baseball game at historic Cameron Field. Way to play, Villagers! #southorangenj #flemingtonneshanock

The South Orange Department of Recreation and the

The South Orange Department of Recreation and the Historic Preservation Commission are presenting a 19th century baseball game on Cameron Field on Saturday, September 14th.

The opening ceremony will take place at noon with team introductions to follow. Part game, part show, part history lesson and ALL FUN, the Flemington Neshanock team is coming to town to play the South Orange Villagers in bare-handed baseball, wearing period uniforms and using rules from the 19th century. The Villagers team is made up of local players, some of whom you may know. There will be a concession stand at the field selling hot dogs, popcorn and more.

Cameron Field is famous as the venue "where legends played." While today the field is used by local leagues and high schools, famous Yankee all-stars Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth and Whitey Ford played on Cameron Field as well as several Negro League stars including Josh Gibson of the Pittsburgh Crawfords. Legend has it that one such player hit a ball over the railroad tracks onto Vose Avenue!

Come on out to the ball game! #southorangenj #sombaseball #flemingtonneshanock

A huge congratulations to the SOM Cougars 9U Summe

A huge congratulations to the SOM Cougars 9U Summer team after an exciting 2019 summer season, highlighted by an unforgettable run in the Ripken Tournament! They advanced from District 12 into the NJ State tournament, went 2-1, but heartbreakingly missed going to the state semifinals by one run in a tiebreaker.
They also took the State Skills tournament by storm with the most points in 3 of 6 events:
In the HR Derby Lucian Caracciolo and James Kostka led the way by smashing 5 HRs in 6 swings, in pitching skills Ted Masino and Jack Livingstone were nearly perfect with the most points in strikes, and for outfield skills Ted finished with the most points to complete an impressive team showing. A huge congrats to an amazing and fun group of kids and parents: Kaden Aiken, Lucian Caracciolo, Simon Collins-Siegel, Cooper Ferguson, Henry Leonard, Kai House, Liam Johnson, James Kostka, Jack Livingstone, Oliver Lutz, Ted Masino, and coaches Chris Caracciolo, Steve Livingstone, and Rich Lutz! #sombaseball #southorangenj #maplewoodnj

Sunday night was a thriller: the 10U SOM Cougars beat Chatham to win the NPGL 10U Green Division Championship!
Every player contributed to the win. Evan Waller notched a huge 2 RBI double in the first to bring us up 2-0. In the bottom half of the first, pitcher Jack Clammer recorded all 3 outs with strikeouts. Aidan Heindl got a big out in the second inning when he rifled the ball to 2B and nabbed the runner looking to steal. Chaz Webber came out hot in the top of the third with a big single, later stealing second and scoring on a huge RBI from Jack Clammer. The Cougars defense owned the bottom of the third with Silas Giger striking out the first batter, then with Jordan Balmir catching a pop up to third and ending the inning with an unbelievable throw across the diamond. The fourth inning saw another strikeout by pitcher Silas Giger, plus a groundout and an amazing fly ball catch by Nathaniel Wack. Hitter Silas Giger lead off the do-or-die sixth inning with a hard ground ball single. After a walk by Evan Waller and Sam Bastardo, Dylan Maguire drew a walk and RBI to cut the Chatham lead to only 2. With 2 outs, Jordan Balmir drove in the game-tying run. Evan Waller pitched relief, with three strikeouts that forced the game into extras. Jesse Fryatt and Carter Paganini started the seventh with huge singles. A huge RBI double to center by Silas Giger gave the Cougars the lead. Evan Waller followed up with another RBI double to extend the lead. With the third double in a row, Sam Bastardo took the lead to 11-7. Chatham couldn’t catch up and the South Orange Maplewood Cougars captured the New Providence Green League 10U Championship!
The players thank Coach Geoff Webber, Coach Chris Paganini, Coach Guy Barbano and Team Manager Beckett Paganini for a great summer baseball experience. #sombaseball #southorangenj #maplewoodnj #npglplayoffs
