Ranney will challenge the Middletown North Lions at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
On Wednesday, Ranney came up short against Christian Brothers Academy and fell 6-3. That's two games in a row now that Ranney has lost by exactly three runs.
Zach Messina was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over 4.2 innings pitched.
At the plate, Robbie Wrobel and Ricky Lopez stepped up to the plate in a big way. Wrobel went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, one double, and one RBI, while Lopez went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Braden Cox, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.
Meanwhile, while Middletown North put up some runs on Saturday, the same can't be said for Glen Ridge. The Lions were the clear victors by a 9-0 margin over the Ridgers.
