DEMAREST – Fair or foul? The answer to that question on a groundball pulled down the third base line by St. Joseph Regional's Alex Woinski with a runner on first with no outs in the bottom of the fourth inning of a then scoreless game would go a long way toward deciding Sunday's Bergen County Tournament semifinal against Old Tappan. One head coach did not see it, the other clearly did. “I really didn't [see it] because I had a runner coming from second to third and I was waving him around,” said SJR skipper Frank Salvano, who was stationed in the third base coaches box not far from the ball's path. “To tell you the truth I never really saw it.” Old Tappan skipper Tim Byron did and was a bit more decisive. “It was a foul ball. What else can I say?,” said Byron. “It was blatantly foul. It was not even close.” The one opinion that mattered, however, was that of the home plate umpire's and he pointed to fair territory, signaling a fair ball that gave Woinski a double and SJR runners on first and second with no outs. A groundball by Matt Kozuch knocked in the first run, Woinski scored on a passed ball and that was the sum total of all the offense in an old fashioned pitcher's duel that was won by St. Joseph, 2-0, and over in a crisp one-hour-and-thirty minutes.
