Riddell Throws Shutout, Millburn Baseball Advances

Senior Ian Riddell threw his second shutout of the season to lift the Millburn High School varsity baseball team to a 6-0 victory over Newark Barringer in Monday's opening round of the NJSIAA North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 playoffs Monday in Millburn.

Riddell improved to 6-0 this season and 16-1 for his career with a tidy, four-hitter that included six strikeouts and no walks.

Max Jacobs came through with a two-run single to break a  scoreless tie in the 4th inning for Millburn. Riddell followed with a sacrifice fly and Will Shiebler added an RBI single as Millburn (22-4) extended its lead to 4-0 after four innings.

Millburn, the No. 4 seed in the section, will next host No. 5 seed North Hunterdon in the quarterfinals. The date and time of that game is yet to be determined.
