Montclair is again directed by its veteran co-head coaches Anthony Genchi and Ron Gavazzi as Mounties continue to compete at high level in Super Essex Conference's American Division. Sophomore Patrick Van Note (14) crosses home plate with the first run of the game in Monday's 10-5 MHS win at Caldwell which happened after he stole second base as the Chiefs shortstop Dom Velardi (1) took the throw.

St. Pierre labored at times in the mound start throwing 100 pitches through four innings, but will remain a valuable member of the staff moving forward for Montclair, which also relies heavily upon senior starting pitchers Eli Rudall-Stulberg, Goel and Finn Jones.

All told, it’s a Mountie diamond squad that could very well make plenty of noise come GNT and N1G4 tourney time.

“It’s a team with good resiliency and I’m proud of the way they compete hard up until the very last pitch,” said Gavazzi. “We’ve been battling all season and there are still so many more big games ahead.

“It’s going to be an exciting next few weeks with some hopefully warmer weather also being part of the picture as we look to continue to just take it one day at a time.”

NOTES- Montclair is playing its home games this season at Nishuane Park on the South side of town as refurbishing, reconfiguring and reconstruction continues at the Woodman Field complex, including the Mounties’ ball diamond…Montclair finished 14-12-2 (6-7=1) last spring after going 18-8 (8-4) in 2022 and 24-7-1 (8-5-1) in 2021 when the Mounties won the N1G4 title and reached the overall Group 4 state final where they fell to Middletown South in the championship game at Veterans Park in Hamilton…The Mounties last won the GNT title in 2019 defeating SHP in the final at Verona.
