Machinski Sparks West Softball to Top Thursday Sports

The next time Bishop Eustace’s softball team faces Cherry Hill West, they may want to avoid pitching to Sierra Machinski.

The Lions’ junior was an offensive monster, going 2-for-3 with a double and a home run and drove in all four runs as West jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first on the way to a 4-1 victory over the Crusaders Thursday.

West also got doubles from Alicia DeFlaviis, Chelsea Holiday and Olyvia Smith.

Jamie Robertson scattered six hits to get the pitching victory.
