A Night of Triumph
Kingsway’s baseball team captured its first sectional championship in more than 30 years, defeating Eastern 12-2 in the South Jersey Group 4 final.
Key Performances
The victory was anchored by Tyler Rodgers, who delivered a complete game on the mound, allowing just two earned runs while striking out nine batters. Offensively, Nate Bott launched a two‑run homer in the second inning, Brayden Thorp added a three‑run double in the third, and Austin Schmidt capped the scoring with a three‑run triple in the sixth.
Looking Ahead
With the title secured, Kingsway prepares to meet the winner of the Central Jersey Group 4 final in Monday’s state semifinal, a matchup that promises another test of their newly forged momentum.
Coach Rob Christ praised the collective effort, highlighting the team’s resilience and the contributions of every player, from Bott to Shields, as the program looks to build on this historic achievement.
