Cherry Hill West Sweeps Timber Creek on the Diamonds

A day after using the long ball to take down Bishop Eustace, the Cherry Hill West softball team gave visiting Timber Creek fits, dropping a half-dozen bunts and doing damage on the base paths in a 7-3 victory Friday.

Alicia DeFlaviis slapped her way on base four times, reaching twice on a combination of errors and speed, and scored three runs to help the Lions on offense. Sierra Machinski provided the only extra-base hit for West, smacking an RBI double in the first inning.

Jamie Robertson struck out four batters and forced Timber Creek into several 1-2-3 innings. Her only blemish was a two-run home run to the Chargers' Candice Dunn in the top of the seventh.

The victory gives the Lions back-to-back wins and a chance to tie their season-high win streak Saturday morning against Winslow Township.

West 7, Timber Creek 1

On the other diamond at West, the baseball team strung together five hits and five runs in the decisive third inning, on the way to its sixth straight win, 7-1, over Timber Creek.

After A.J. Wright doubled, the Lions got an RBI triple from Matt Giampetro and doubles by A.J. Sohacki and Jake Campbell to pile up the runs and take their first lead of the game. Wright scored again in the fourth.

Will Allen was efficient on the mound, striking out seven and allowing just one hit after the Chargers scored in the second inning.
