EAST BRUNSWICK — Carl Thomore played under a microscope all season long with at least 15 professional scouts attending every one of his East Brunswick High School baseball games.
The senior outfielder, regarded as one of the nation’s top scholastic prospects, said handling that kind of pressure prepared him for the stress of waiting to be selected during Major League Baseball’s 2011 First-Year Player Draft.
Thomore was chosen early in the second round Tuesday afternoon by the Colorado Rockies with the 77th overall pick upon the initial recommendation of Northeast Scouting Supervisor Mike Garlatti, a former Highland Park star and Rutgers University assistant coach who Thomore credits with his development as a five-tool player.

Emilio Calderon and Wonder Ortega combined for a three-hit shutout and 11 strikeouts for top-seeded Perth Amboy (17-3) in the first round of the Greater Middlesex Conference Tournament in East Brunswick.
Senior left fielder Alec Simoes, batting first for the first time in his high school career, filled in in Thomore-like fashion, drilling the second pitch he saw over the center-field fence for a lead-off home run that sent 17th-seeded East Brunswick on its way to a 9-5 victory over 16th-seeded Highland Park in the preliminary round of the Greater Middlesex Conference Tournament yesterday in Highland Park.

East Brunswick’s Rob Jankowski showed up for yesterday’s game prepared, as always, to give a couple of innings of long relief if necessary.
As things turned out the junior right-hander was called on for seven innings of very long relief as he mopped up a first-inning mess and stuck around until the finish of a 5-3 East Brunswick victory over Colonia yesterday in East Brunswick.

“I just knew I had to throw strikes and rely on my fielders,” said Jankowski, whose defense did not commit an error. “I still had to get in my groove. I wasn’t worried. I was confident. I was throwing strikes early. I pitched to contact.”
Jankowski went on to retire 17 of the next 19 batters. He induced seven ground ball outs, including four comebackers. He fell behind on the count to just two batters. Jankowski threw 57 pitches — only 13 for balls — over the final six innings.
Christian Campbell (four RBI) and Blake Cuomo (two RBI) each went 3-for-3 with a double as Sayreville (4-5) prevailed in five innings for its third consecutive victory in Sayreville. Eric Goitia went 2-for-4 with two RBI to help make a winner out of Dan Seaman (1-2), who threw all five innings. Awab Habib went 2-for-2 and drove in a run for East Brunswick (2-8).
