The Rutgers University baseball team collected 13 hits, including a record-tying home run from junior All-American Todd Frazier (Toms River South), to complete a series sweep of the University of South Florida with a 10-5 victory on Sunday in Tampa, Fla.

It was the second sweep of the season for the Big East-leading Scarlet Knights (24-14, 12-3).

Frazier added to a 7-5 lead with an eighth-inning solo homer to right, tying school career and single-season home run records. The blast was his 14th of the season, tying the record Frank Meade set in 2006 and 34th of his career, equaling the mark his older brother, Jeff Frazier, totaled from 2002-04.

Starting pitcher Casey Gaynor (Toms River East) pitched into the fourth inning before being relieved by Matt Patterson, who pitched his way out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam.

Patterson got his first career victory. Brothers Kevin and Chris Lillis, both CBA graduates, pitched three scoreless innings.

MONMOUTH 19, FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON 8: The Hawks (22-12-1, 7-4) rallied from a three-run deficit to beat the host Knights in a Northeast Conference game. Monmouth tied a season high with its 19 runs. The Hawks did most of their damage during a six-run fifth inning.

I believe it\’s time for one-way streets to begin from Market Street South to Jersey Ave. and East to West from Thompson Avenue to King Street. Why?

Because you cannot go up or down these streets without pulling over so one can go by, there are cars parked on both sides of the street, also, people double park on these streets.

I hope Mayor Bill James will look into this.

Dear Mr. Countryman and Mr. Cleary:

In response to your inquiry about the absence of City Clerk/Administrator, Paul Kain, we are writing to inform you of the current status of the City Administration.

Mr. Kain has been out on extended sick leave since early March. During this time, we the elected officials, department heads, and staff have voluntarily stepped in to ensure that current projects and the day-to-day duties are completed. In appointing Mr. Kain as Administrator we were well aware of the necessity and importance of his duties. Now, during his absence, it has become more evident that our City needs an Administrator to run the operations of the City and oversee the many projects that are currently taking place in Gloucester City.

We are hopeful Mr. Kain will soon return to his duties and we wish him a speedy recovery.

In his absence, Kathy Jentsch has taken over as Acting City Clerk and is available to address your community needs. Also during this time, we the elected officials, our department heads and staff will continue to work together to ensure the smooth operations of our City government.

We appreciate your concerns and invite you to contact the City at 856-456-0205 or [email protected] for any further assistance.

 

Very truly yours,

Mayor William James
