North Hunterdon 1, Sparta 0 (9 innings): Senior left-hander Maggie Swan fired a nine-inning shutout, allowing seven hits and one walk, striking out eight, and junior catcher Megan Hanily cracked a two-out triple in the ninth inning, scoring on an error, as fourth-seeded North Hunterdon won a thriller to advance to the quarterfinals of the tri-county tournament. Hanily ripped one don the right-field line with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, coming all the way around to score when the throw to third base went awry. Jessica Nolan collected two of the Lions’ six hits off Sparta ace Paige Smith, who walked two and fanned 13 for the No. 5 seed. North plays host to ninth-seeded upstart North Warren in next Saturday, May 5th Semifinals at 2pm.
