With the state finals past us and the season now officially over, some of the state’s top seniors will get a chance to go out with one final win in the annual Super 36 North vs. South All-Star Game, which will take place Monday, June 12 at 4 p.m. at Ivy Hill Park on the campus of Seton Hall.
Some of the state’s best including Sarah Davenport, Holly Lovett, Julia Apsotolakos, Gianna Muhaw and others were selected by a group of coaches. A total of 118 players were nominated and players could only be selected if nominated by a coach.
The North team will be without five players who were selected, with Livingston’s pitcher Caitlin Mullen and Montville’s pitcher Caitlin Olensky missing the game due to injury. Three other players — pitchers Amanda Medina and Juliana Raymond from Watchung Hills and Morris Knolls’ shortstop Gabby Gesualdo — are missing the game due to school functions.
Here are the North and South rosters and the respective coaches for each team.
