Meanwhile, the Highwaymen continued to throw to the wrong base as the Spartans increased their lead like any good frontrunner. After Josephs left, Hamilton East reached Grant for a run in the fifth and reliever Mike Sigmund for three in the sixth, two scoring on Adam's two-run, inside-the-park home run. "My players did exactly what I expected them to do," said Hamilton East coach Ken Rauba, whose Spartans finished their season with 16 straight wins. "They came out and played the best game of their lives for me, and for themselves." And it happened on the same day the Highwaymen played perhaps the worst game of their season, if not their lives. Edgewood blanked Parsippany, 2-0, in the Group 3 final and Bordentown defeated Chatham Borough, 6-4, in Group 1.

backstop, leaving Gallagher standing on second. Bob Miranda followed with a ground ball that got by both shortstop Chuck Skinner and left fielder Greg Gutierrez, allowing Hamilton East to score its first of seven unearned runs of the day. Before the inning was over there was another passed ball, a walk, and a run-scoring single by Jody Adam as the Spartans took a 3-0 lead. Jim Bowen, twin brother of winning pitcher John Bowen (8-2), singled home a run in the second to make it 4-0 before Teaneck managed its first baserunner. Yet even when the Highwaymen figured out John Bowen's pitches, Hamilton East's defense and a shaky decision or two frustrated their scoring attempts.

Teaneck (20-9) had its chance to get back in the game in the top of the fourth. LaClair started the inning with a double to left-center. When teammate Al Batton singled to right field, LaClair was waved home by Zubiaurre, who was stationed in the third-base coaching box. Adam's throw from right beat LaClair to the plate, however, and John Bowen was able to allow a walk and another single without giving up a run. "I blew that play," Zubiaurre admitted.

When it was over, Hamilton East had buried Teaneck 9-0 to win the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Group 4 baseball title. And Teaneck coach Pete Zubiaurre was left to ponder how he and his 24 players all could have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed on the same day. "The pitching wasn't there, the defense wasn't there, and the coaching wasn't there," Zubiaurre said.

"They Montvllle wins Group 2 title. See Page C-9. were clearly the better team today." After being retired in order in the top of the first, the Highwaymen took the field. That was their first mistake. Jun-' ior Neil Josephs, whose experience earned him the starting assignment over sophomore phenom Eakmond Grant, quickly gave up a double to Hamilton East's Joe Capone.

The North 2 and South All-Stars also play at 11 a.m. that day, with the winners and losers meeting at 1:30 p.m. in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association's first series of postseason contests. "I think it's a great thing for high school baseball," says Old Tappan coach Ralph Cobb, who along with Par-amus's Bob Kingsley will coach the North 1 team.

"It spotlights the sport. Because of when baseball is played, it sometimes doesn't get the attention that other sports get: But since, theoretically, the best 64 high school seniors in the State will be there, it'll be quite a day." The teams were selected by a panel of coaches, scouts, and newspapermen. Nine of the 16 players on the sectional team were from Bergen County, four from Passaic County, and three from Hudson County. Ridgefield Park, Indian Hills, and Memorial of West New York were the only schools to have more than one player selected. Bob Intveld and catcher Roy Murray were picked from Indian Hills.
