CRANFORD, NJ., NJ — Cranford senior outfielder Jake Carter said he expected what senior starting pitcher Sean Woodruff did on the mound on Wednesday. It’s become a formality each time Woodruff draws a start for Cranford on how he is going to attack hitters and how efficient he’s going to be. Woodruff doesn’t have the most overpowering stuff, but he has moxie and an ability to change speeds, mix pitches and work ahead in the count. He also has a pretty filthy change-up and breaking ball, and Woodruff’s pitching acumen was on display against division rival, Westfield. Woodruff tossed a complete-game shutout on 88 pitches, and No. 7 Cranford scored three runs in the top of the seventh to defeat Westfield 3-0 in a Union County Conference Watchung Division matchup. The win pushed Cranford’s record to 13-0 to start the season and Woodruff improved to 4-0 on the season. The performance on Wednesday was his third complete game of the season and second shutout. The other one came against Gov. Livingston on April 6. Woodruff walked none and had four strikeouts. “I think I did pretty well,” Woodruff said. “(I) was just trying to throw strikes and make them put the ball in play. I trust the guys behind me and try not to walk guys, so let them hit it, and we’ll get outs.” To Woodruff’s credit, he pitched better than well, being masterful on the mound, and he had to as Westfield (7-5) starter Tomas Cestero was also brilliant. Woodruff ran into trouble just twice in the game, getting out of the first inning unscathed after Westfield got runners to second and third with one out. He got out of a second-inning jam after Westfield loaded the bases with one out. Woodruff got out of the frame by recording a strikeout and inducing a fly out. Including those final two outs in the bottom of the second, Woodruff then retired 17 of the next 18 hitters to end the game, putting a bow on his performance. “I say to him every time we finish a game, ‘As expected,’ because when he goes out there, we know what we’re getting,” Carter said. “We’re getting seven innings, gutsy baseball. He’s not going to be scared. He’s going to go after people. He did his thing today, and we got a few for him at the end. He pitched well enough to get a win.” Cestero kept matching zeroes with Woodruff through the first six innings. Cestero, whose fastball sat in the high 80s and topped out at 90 miles per hour, kept Cranford hitters at bay. The junior righty recorded 11 strikeouts in 6.2 innings, but couldn’t finish the seventh inning because he reached the pitch-count limit. Cranford finally broke through when Carter smacked a two-out go-ahead RBI double, giving Cranford the lead. The Cougars added two more runs in the frame, which included a RBI single by Shea Grady. Woodruff then closed the door by throwing a 1-2-3 inning to seal the win. “That’s what you hope what all Cranford pitchers do,” coach Dennis McCaffery said. “Throw multiple pitches for strikes, don’t walk people, and give yourself a chance to win. That’s certainly what he did today. He had command of three pitches, both sides of the plate, and he was able to throw strikes and not walk anybody. “Fortunately our defense was able to make plays today.”
