in Toms River News

It’s time to do your pre-game warmups so you’ll be all set for interviews as the annual Jersey Shore BlueClaws virtual job fair is underway!

in Toms River News

Sixty miles from Citizens Bank Park, the night after the Astros combined for a no-hitter in Game 4 of the World Series, two-time MLB All-Star Todd Frazier took the mound himself at The RWJBarnabas Health Field of Dreams.

Unfortunately for Frazier, pitching in his namesake Special Needs Baseball League, any chance he had at a no-hit bid was squashed after the first batter. He didn’t mind, though.

“I got knocked around twice. They were seeing the ball so well on me,” Frazier said. “Underhand or overhand, these balls were being crushed.”

in Toms River News

CLEVELAND — The Yankees lost their hottest reliever while taking two of three games during the Fourth of July weekend in Cleveland. No, not closer Clay Holmes. The owner of the game’s best sinker is fine and picked up two more saves in his last two outings after finally giving up a couple runs following a 2½-month scoreless streak.

Rookie Ron Marinaccio has been even more effective over the past five months. The Toms River, N.J., product retired the only three batters he faced in Saturday’s 13-4 win in Game 1 of a doubleheader. He has retired 46 of 47 batters over his last 15 outings — all scoreless.

How Blue Jays beating aided Ron Marinaccio’s journey from Toms River, N.J. to Yankees bullpen

in Toms River News

TAMPA — The Yankees threw one of their wet-behind-the-ears relievers to some of the biggest and baddest baseball wolves during their March 23 spring training game in Dunedin.

The Toronto Blue Jays had most of their scary lineup in that day and the top of the lineup was coming up when hard-throwing righty Ron Marinaccio entered to pitch the bottom of the fourth with the Yanks trailing 4-1.

What went down over this long inning, one in which the Jays roughed up Marinaccio for five unearned runs, became an important learning experience that helped key the Toms River product’s successful quest for a first big-league opportunity as a member of the Yankees’ season-opening bullpen.
