LINDEN, NJ – A base running decision secured the Union County Tournament championship for the Governor Livingston High School varsity softball team Friday night, as the Highlanders beat the Arthur L Johnson High School Crusaders 1-0 in what became a pitchers’ duel.
It came in the bottom of the second inning, when GL senior Nicole Trezza got on base. She went to second on a wild pitch and stole third base. In a split-second decision, she broke for home plate and came in safely to give her team the lead.
“I’m always aggressive on the bases and I knew it was going to be a close game,” Trezza said. “I knew that I was going to have to do something to score a run and I knew for my team, we needed a run. As soon as I saw that ball bounce off the catcher’s glove, I just bolted for third and I just saw the ball and ran home and it was the greatest feeling ever.”
