The regular Shore Conference high school baseball season may be over. Even the NJSIAA Tournament has been completed.
But high school baseball 2007 at the Shore lives on.
Led by a host of sluggers including all-time Shore Conference home run king Keith Weinkofsky of Ocean Township and pitching aces Keith Slate of CBA and Anthony Ranaudo of St. Rose a team of Jersey Shore All-Stars hopes to snap a two-year Carpenter Cup slump beginning Monday.
The Shore team, which has been ousted in the first game of the 16-team tournament of teams from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware the last two years, launches its bid for the 2007 title beginning 4 p.m. Monday vs. Delaware South at the University of Pennsylvania's Meiklejohn Stadium. Two other events Wednesday at FirstEnergy Park highlight the week. The annual Shore Baseball Coaches Association Monmouth vs. Ocean Senior All-Star nine-inning game will take place at 5 p.m.
It will be followed by a 7:30 p.m. seven-inning game between Shore Conference Alumni and a team comprised of New Jersey State troopers, some of whom are former Shore Conference players.
Proceeds from the Wednesday games are dedicated to the "Going to Bat for Brian" Foundation and the "Light up Manchester" Fund Drive.
Brian Malast, a former standout athlete at Manchester Township High School remains paralyzed in the wake of an automobile accident suffered while on the job with the New Jersey State Police in September of 2005.
Also, Manchester Township High School plans to use proceeds from the game for lights for its football field so that Craig Leppert, a sophomore varsity linebacker in 2006, will be able to continue his football career.
Leppert has erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP), resulting from a rare inherited deficiency of the enzyme ferrochelatase. The reduced activity of the enzyme makes people with EPP highly sensitive to sunlight, which can cause an itchy, burning sensation on the skin. It's painful. But worse, abnormally high levels of protoporphyrin resulting from sun exposure can also cause liver disease. Leppert managed to play football last year wearing protective garb.
""Anything we can do to help young athletes is a wonderful thing,'' said Kevin James, Rumson-Fair Haven coach and director of Wednesday's events.
John Musolf, Manchester and Carpenter Cup coach, said he feels this year's Shore team has the potential to do damage.
Jersey Shore won the title in 2002 led by former Toms River East ace Ryan Doherty and in 1994 powered by former Jackson slugger and now assistant coach Marc Fink.
""We are hoping this is going to be a year we can make some noise,'' said Musolf. ""We're hoping to get by that first game. I feel if we do we're going to make a run.''
Jersey Shore has lost in consecutive years by one-run to teams that have gone on to win the Cup including Burlington County in 2006.
"'You have to put it together that first game,'' said Musolf. ""I think getting by that is most important.
""We're definitely going to go after them (Delaware South). I feel we have the kids to do it.''
The first and seconds rounds will be played at Penn with the semi-final and championship title games at Citizens Bank Park June 21 and 22.
The Carpenter Cup roster was selected by a special SBCA Carpenter Cup Committee while coaches from Monmouth and Ocean counties, respectively, put together the Senior All-Star rosters.

hey tony who do you like in the senior all star game?
I hadn't really thought about it but since you asked me - I lean towards Monmouth's pitching. But, you don't know how much their "aces" will throw depending on who pitched for how long in the Carp Cup Monday..
Good blog question though..any one else care to offer a pick???
And how do you think the Carp Cup team will fare??
yea monmouth does have a very good pitching staff..they have a lot of number 1's from the teams represented..you would have to think slate and ranaudo would both throw today so how do you think they with go about the all star game?
If Slate and Ranaudo do not throw in the senior game that evens the playing field somewhat...But I also like Monmouth's bats over Ocean, other than Biserta...
Having said this Ocean will probably cruise..
How did the Carpenter Cup team do today? Pitchers?
Re Cup: Started at 4 p.m. We didn't send a reporter...but they will be calling us ( we hope) when game is over..and I'll post it pronto..at least that's the plan...
Carp Cup today - postoned by lightning until 4 p.m. Tuesday.......................
with the cup game having been postponed you would think if ranaudo and slate each throw 3 innings tuesday then they would probably not throw at all wednesday which opens the door for some of the more average pitchers on the monmouth side..and for myself being from long branch how do you think their lone player cousins will do?
hey tony i just read on espn that a reporter was giving live updates from a college baseball game on his blog and was kicked out in the 5th inning because it is apparently against ncaa policies!!
Re: Cousins. I guess he'll get his shot. How he will fare I really can't say. He'll be facing some tough hitters. Hopefully he'll do well and go out with a bang.
Re: NCAA blog. We have been talking about that here in the office. How lame is the NCAA? Hope this doesn't give the NJSIAA any ideas.
Back in 2004 when I was covering Monmouth U. vs. Miss. State in men's basketball in the NCAAs, I sat down at my court side press table with my own bottle of Poland Spring water.
An NCAA official said I had to get rid of it because the only water allowed in the arena was Aquifina or whatever.
At least they didn't kick me our or make me go thirsty!!
I did blog from NCAA hoops when MU participated in 2006..but I was not doing a play-by-play....
haha thats funny about the water
but yes the NCAA has some bogus rules its rediculous
do you know if the Monmouth vs. Ocean game will be played today or where one could find out if it will be played?
Game is definitely ON..!!!!
(barring any more rain )........
