Congratulations to the Lions baseball team as they defeated Phillipsburg HS 8-1 in the First Round of the North 2 Group 4 State Baseball Tournament. Austin Arndt pitched a gem not allowing a baserunner for the first four innings and wound up striking out nine Stateliners in five innings of three-hit, no-walk baseball to earn the win. North Hunterdon (20-7), the third seed, backed up Arndt with marvelously productive clutch hitting. The Lions, who will host sixth-seeded Ridge HS in the quarterfinals Thursday at North, scored four runs with two outs, including catcher Andrew Meiners’ two-run home run to straightaway center field in the sixth inning that slammed the door on the Stateliners. John Wilson and Tim Heard both had two-run doubles.
