Where we’re going, and where we’ve been, in sports.

 

This past week:

 

• After a string of hard-fought losses, Big Blue Baseball bounced back with three wins in a row over Watchung Hills, Montgomery, and Montclair Kimberley Academy. Two of the three wins were on the road.

 

• Big Blue Softball cruised through the opening round of the Somerset Tournament with a blowout 10-0 win over Bound Brook.
