NFA Baseball Team Wins Section 9 Class AA Title

NFA Baseball team wins Section 9 Class AA Title! Newburgh would go on to win 16 games, the last coming on Saturday as the Goldbacks blitzed Monroe-Woodbury for six first-inning runs on the way to an 11-3 victory in the Section 9 Class AA title game at Cantine Field. It was Newburgh’s first sectional title since 2005 and seventh since 1968. Seven of the nine starters for Newburgh return for next season. Coach Seabury hopes the team can carry over the momentum.
