Roundup: The Week in Sports and a Look Ahead

How was your week? This is how the week went for the Bridgemen and Lady Bridgemen sports teams.

Baseball: The Bridgemen saw their season come to an end Monday, when they lost in the first round of the state tournament to West Essex Regional 10-2.

Patch will have a season recap on the the boys baseball team this week

Softball: The Lady Bridgmen won their first round state tournament matchup against the Lady Tigers of Hackettstown. The game was close, and Fort Lee appeared to be in trouble when they trailed 5-1 in the third. But they bounced back and had a huge sixh inning in which their number eight hitter, Jillian Scrivanich, hit a triple and their number nine hitter hit a single that gave the Lady Bridgemen the go ahead run. On Thursday, the girls traveled to Rutherford for the second round of the state tournament. The Lady Bridgmen fell to a strong Rutherford team by a score of 5-1.
