Warriors Rally Behind Centennial Pitching
Robert Centamore delivered a complete-game effort, striking out 13 batters while allowing just two runs, a feat that left Coach Joe Tremarco praising the senior’s poise under pressure.
The offense clicked early, with Jacob Jaconski delivering an RBI triple in the fourth inning that shifted momentum, followed by freshman James Esposito’s first varsity RBI single that capped a two‑run burst.
Ridge tried to answer, plating a run in the opening frame thanks to Dimitri Romer’s RBI single, but the Warriors answered back to take a lead they would not relinquish.
The victory marks the first Somerset County Tournament final appearance for the Warriors since 2016, and they now turn their focus to a May 20 clash with Immaculata, a team that has been riding its own wave of success.
Coach Tremarco highlighted the team’s resilience, noting that Centamore’s 1.26 ERA and 54 strikeouts this season reflect a consistency that has become the program’s hallmark.
Senior standouts like Lucas Grob, Casey Kucerka, and Landon Pudlak contributed defensively, while the bench depth proved vital in maintaining intensity throughout the game.
