As spring sports get underway, Seton Hall Prep’s Pirates look poised to dominate Jersey baseball.
They ride the tide of a dominant 2025 season, when they boasted a 92%-win rate.
The Pirates fell to Depaul Catholic in a crushing 12-10 loss in the 2025 NJSIAA playoffs, but they hope to rally back during this season.
They faced Montclair’s Mounties on March 31, coasting to an 8-1 win. The two teams played again on April 2, with the rematch proving much closer.
“It was tough because our hitters couldn’t match their pitches,” Baxter Hilton, a junior on the team, said. “Our pitching and defense are what really pulled us through.”
The Pirates topped the Mounties once again in a 6-3 win, and they face Randolph’s Rams on the April 4.
From April 9-11, the Pirates will play in the Mid-Atlantic Baseball Challenge, a competitive tournament that includes other Catholic prep schools.
