With its 5-2 victory over Caldwell this past Monday, the 2024 Livingston Lancer varsity baseball team has clinched, at the very least, a share of the SEC American Division baseball title. The last two conference baseball titles were won in 2018 and 1993. The Lancers are currently 17-4-1 with one week remaining in the regular season before beginning their run at a state title at the Oval on Thursday, May 23.
On May 2, junior Jackson Becker became one of the few pitchers in Lancer history to throw a complete game, no-hitter. Becker struck out six and walked three as the Lancers beat Nutley, 7-1. It was only the second start on the mound for Jackson.
Since then, the Lancers have won three games in the Greater Newark Tournament (GNT) and will be facing Seton Hall prep in the finals at Verona High School this Saturday at noon. The Lancers secured victories over Belleville, 6-0, Barringer, 5-4, and Montclair, 3-2.
