LAST SCRIMMAGE FOR NEW MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Derek Deleon tossed a three-hitter to lead eighth-seeded New Milford to victory over ninth-seeded Lenape Valley. Lenape Valley (10-14) held a 2-0 lead after three innings but the Knights rallied back by scoring two runs between the fourth and fifth innings to tie the game before rallying for three runs in the sixth. Liam Block went 4-for-4 with one RBI and a run while Luis Placido drove in a pair of runs. Travis Valluzzi went 2-for-3 with two runs scored.

The Knights’ season-opening 26-14 win snapped a 10-game losing streak against Hasbrouck Heights dating back to 2004. Luis Placido caught TD passes of 60 and 47 yards from Jerzey Ryan and ran for a score. Kyle Tennant’s 91-yard fumble return for a TD clinched the win in Bill Straub’s return as a head coach.
