Schalick girls, Woodstown boys win division titles in West Deptford Relays, for Wolverines it’s a first; Schalick’s boys win their division in Bridgeton

WEST DEPTFORD – The wildfire that was raging on the other side of the interstate wasn’t the only thing blazing around the West Deptford Relays Saturday.

The Schalick girls and Woodstown boys both raced to team titles in their respective divisions that carried some historical significance.

The Cougars won it for the second year in a row, scoring 73 points and edging county rival Salem by three for the Division I girls crown. The Wolverines won their first West Deptford Relays title in school history, scoring 93 points to win by a comfortable margin over Glassboro for the Division II boys title.

And in some ways the victories were as surprising as they were historic.

The Cougars won with a squad reduced in half due to college visits and other spring break obligations.

“To be honest, I don’t know how (they pulled it off) going into it,” Schalick girls coach Missy Pine said. “We’re on spring break so I’m very short-staffed … so I don’t know how we pulled this off. The girls who showed up stepped up and just did an amazing job.

“In talking to the coaches from Salem, they were in a similar situation, so I think we were actually both shocked it was so close at the end. I wasn’t like oh my God you’ve got to beat that girl from Salem or they weren’t saying that to their athletes either. We were just wanting our girls to do the best that they could today under the circumstances.”

Sophomore Naveah Robinson won the girls javelin outright with a throw of 101-5 and the Cougars had the best 4000 DMR in Division I with Sarah Torpey, Karlie Bakley, Ava Melnick and Emma Wilbur running 15:39.50. They also finished second in the 4×1600, 400 Hurdles Relay, 800 SMR and discus, and third in the high jump and shot.

The Salem girls, meanwhile, kept it close by winning five events within their division and finishing second in one other. Ramiyah Jones won the individual long jump at 15-4. 

“It was a nice surprise,” Pine said. “Going into it I had the mindset that we don’t have a chance on earth of this at all – I just don’t have enough people with me. I just couldn’t believe it.”

Woodstown’s boys, meanwhile, got a nice surprise from an atypical source. The Wolverines have been built around their middle and long distance runners and were locked in a tight battle until the field events posted. The points they got from their throwers and jumpers put them way over the top.

“We scored across the board, but it was the throwers and jumpers who really put the butt-whippin’ in,” new Woodstown boys coach Tom Mason said. “I’m the happiest for them. They and the hurdlers I needed to work to get production out of them and we’re talking 38 points 

Aidan Taulane won the shot (45-1.25) and discus (145-7). Andrew White (5-10) and Elijah Caesar (5-6) went 1-3 in the high jump and 4-3 in the triple jump. White finished third in the long jump and Noah Chiu was third in the javelin. Put together for a relay, they won the high jump, second in the long jump and triple jump.

The runners, meanwhile, gave their typically strong performance. They won the 4×800 outright, were tops in Division II in the 4×1600 and finished second in the distance medley and shuttle hurdle relays. They were actually running second after the first two legs of the 4×800, but Karson Chew handed anchor Josh Crawford the baton with a 100-yard lead and then Crawford proceeded to nearly lap the field.

“For me, it brought back the tension of a close meet,” said Mason, who came out of retirement to help advance the program. “When all those points came in, it was like, phew. It’s good for the kids, it’s good for the school, they’re going to get their first title.” 

The meet was staged in the backdrop of a raging brush fire across the interstate from the school that prompted some parents to call the meet “The Campfire Relays.” Heavy smoke could be seen rising above the area and debris from the blaze fell in the venue.
“I don’t know if it affected anybody,” Pine said. “My athletes knew it smelled and were putting their shirt over their nose, but none of my athletes got dramatic about it. I really didn’t see anybody, but it may have affected somebody’s performance.”

Salem’s boys and Woodstown’s girls both were solidly second in their respective divisions.

Bridgeton Relays

BRIDGETON – Schalick’s boys used their deep balance and an MVP performance by David Stewart’s to win the Division I title in the historic Bridgeton Relays.

The Cougars won one overall race and four Division I events to score 88 points and edge Woodbury by four.

“It’s always hard to gauge where you stand since field events don’t fully update until the end,” Schalick coach James Turner said. “Our focus was just making sure we had someone in every event to give ourselves a shot. Even in events where we finished fourth or fifth we still picked up key points. Those points ended up being the difference.

“I told the guys carry yourselves like you’ve been here before. We expect to win and we wanted to show the rest of the field that we’re still the team to beat.”

At the top, the Cougars won in the 1600 shuttle medley relay with Stewart (400), Dezyun Purnell (200), Jacob Carter (200) and Steve Chomo (800) hitting the tape in 3:46.65. Chomo closed a 20-meter gap down the stretch to nip Mainland Region (3:46.70) at the wire.

The Cougars also were the top Division I team in the triple jump and 110 shuttle hurdle relay. In addition to running legs on the SMR and SHR, Stewart was second overall in the 400 hurdles and fourth overall in the long jump.

Among their other top individual performances in the field events, Caleb Jenkins finished second in the pole vault and Jack Benfer was third in the discus.

EDISON — Cliff Wysinger homered and Pat Seitzinger pitched a complete game without allowing an earned run to help Salem CC win the opening game of Saturday’s doubleheader to clinch the series , but Middlesex bounced back to win the nightcap and salvaged a split of the day.

The Mighty Oaks won Game 1, 9-3. Middlesex took the nightcap 10-7 despite SCC’s Jason LeBold hitting two home runs.

The Mighty Oaks got off to another fast start in the series, opening a 7-0 lead after two innings of the opener and then put it in Seitzinger’s hands. He gave up just four hits and struck out four.

Trevor Hernandez had three hits and two RBIs for the Mighty Oaks. Wysinger, Jay Barber and Colin McLaughlin had two hits apiece.

They led the second game 5-2 after three innings, but the Colts erupted for five in the fourth to take the lead for good. LeBold went 3-for-3 in the game for Salem and he and Roman Hernandez both drove in three runs. J.J. Pankowski had a pair of hits.

“Pleased to have taken the series, but not satisfied,” Mighty Oaks coach John Holt said. “Played OK in Game 2. Didn’t play badly, but we could’ve done a little better.”

Wysinger took over the team lead in homers (five) with his blast in the first game, but LeBold caught him with his two in the nightcap.

PITTSGROVE — After exhausting his two best pitchers trying to win a 10-inning division marathon the day before, Schalick baseball coach Sean O’Brien wondered if he’d have enough arms to get past one of the better teams from the Shore Friday morning.

Enter Mason Hollywood and Bo Schalick.

The two junior right-handers hadn’t thrown a lot this early in the season and they certainly hadn’t faced a team like they did Friday. They had their trials, but they never lost the lead and gave the Cougars every chance to knock off Group 3 Toms River South, 8-7.

Hollywood pitched the first four innings and left in a 4-4 tie. Schalick pitched the last three innings and turned the Indians back when they threatened in the sixth and seventh.

“They did exactly what we needed them to do every time they got out and pitch,” O’Brien said. “We know teams are going to hit them, they don’t throw super hard, but they are guys who can compete, they can locate, they can throw their off speed for strikes. We just have to play defense behind them, and for the most part we did. We made some mistakes late in the game, but those guys what we needed them to do.

“We’re not super deep as we were last year in our rotation, so we need other guys to step up and those two guys did that today.”

Initially, Hollywood and Schalick were going to be used in relief behind starter Cole Harley, but that plan was scuttled when Hartley pitched the final four innings (62 pitches) against Overbrook on Thursday.

The pitchers were told that night they would be going against the Indians, who came in undefeated in four games, and they did everything they could in the run-up to be ready. For Schalick, one of the rare athletes who can play for the name on the front and the back of the jersey, it was getting a good night’s sleep, stretching out and downing an energy drink in the morning.

Hollywood had thrown only 3 1/3 innings in two previous appearances this season, but he’d made nine pitching appearances (29 total innings) the previous two years at St. Joseph Academy.

He gave up one hit over the first three innings. He HBP/walked the bases loaded in the second, but got out of it with only one run scoring. He ran into trouble in the fourth, giving up back-to-back doubles, opening the door for the Indians to score three runs to tie it.

The Cougars gave him a 4-0 lead after two innings. They scored three in the first on Jamari Whitley’s RBI single, a run-scoring error and Travis Snodgrass’ bases-loaded single, then added another run in the second on Ricky Watt’s RBI double. Watt doubled in each of his first two at-bats.

“(O’Brien) just said it was like pitching against any other team; it doesn’t matter how good they are as long as you can throw the ball in there,” Hollywood said. “There were a little bit of nerve, but in the end I have a great team behind me. In the end there aren’t really any nerves when your team can make the plays.”

Schalick had made only one previous varsity pitching appearance, a two-inning stint in a rout of Clayton earlier this week where he threw 25 pitches. He threw 62 in closing out the Indians. He breezed through his first inning in 12 pitches, but threw 37 in in the sixth as the Indians batted around to score three runs and make it 8-7.

O’Brien had another pitcher in his pocket just in case, but he never needed him. South got the tying run in scoring position with one out in the seventh, but Schalick got out of it with a fly to center and, as the Indians got to the top of the order, his fourth strikeout to end the game.

“I felt good,” Schalick said. “There were a little nerves, but I feel like the adrenaline helped me with the fastball velocity and then my curveball was working at the beginning. (The last inning) I had a little nerves in the dugout before walking out, but I made sure I was keeping my head down, throwing strikes.”

“For them to come in and do that it just shows we can rely on them against good teams, too,” O’Brien said. 

Schalick set Schalick up for the win with four runs in the fifth. The back end of the lineup set the table, then Evan Sepers and Watt both drew bases-loaded walks on 3-2 pitches and Whitley drilled the first pitch from left-handed reliever Karsin Migliori into left field for a two-run single.

Sepers reached base in three of his four plate appearances and scored all three times. Watt had two doubles and a walk, and Whitley had three hits and three RBIs

“Those guys have been swinging the bat really well,” O’Brien said of the top of his lineup. “We just need to be more consistent in the back end of the lineup. There are moments when we look really good and moments when we kind of fall off a little bit. The back end guys need to see pitches, need to work pitchers and find a way to get on base so we can turn over that lineup and they did a good job. 

“If we can get that going, like last year, if our top end wasn’t hitting, the back end was. Once we start doing that and then we clean up the defense and pitching becomes more consistent we’re going to be a really good team.”

WOODSTOWN 11, COLLINGSWOOD 8: Walker Battavio and Ty Coblentz each drove in two runs with consecutive two-out hits in the seventh inning to give the Wolverines the lead, which they held through the bottom of the inning.

The game was tied 7-7 going into the seventh. The Wolverines (4-2) loaded the bases on Drew Sutton’s leadoff double, a one-out intentional walk to Chase Harding (who hit his first career homer earlier in the game), and a single by Jackson Fraley.

After a strikeout got the second out, Battavio singled to second to break the tie and Coblentz followed with a double to plate two more insurance runs. Coblentz tied the game in the sixth with a two-out single.

The Panthers (1-2) got a run in the home seventh and had the tying run in the on-deck circle, but Talyn Priore induced the next two batters into ground outs to end the game.

Coblentz went 3-for-5 with three RBIs. Battavio had two hits and two RBIs and Sutton had two hits. Harding hit a two-run homer in the second inning to open the scoring.


HADDON HEIGHTS 14, PENNSVILLE 3: The Garnets scored six runs in the first inning and the Eagles could never dig out of the hole.

The visitors sent 10 batters to the plate in the first inning. Jaxon Motta had a two-run double and Collin Camarote a two-run single to highlight the big start. Ryan Govito hit a solo homer in the sixth.

Salem CC baseball gets back on winning track; softball erupts for record 50 runs in doubleheader sweep at Raritan Valley

CARNEYS POINT – John Holt knows good his Salem CC baseball team can be if it ever played to its potential. He just had to convince them of that.

Giving up 71 runs in the last three games has a way of sapping a team’s confidence, but it’s nothing a good ol’ heart-to-heart can’t fix.

That’s the approach the Mighty Oaks took earlier this week after three atrocious outings on the road against Montgomery County and Brookdale. A day after a 21-5 shelling at Brookdale, Holt brought the fellas together for a two-way talk about what has been happening and why, what needed to change and what lies ahead (a playoff berth if they can right the ship).

What followed, everyone in the organization agreed, was two of the best practices the team has had all year and it culminated in a 12-7 series opening win over Middlesex at The Treehouse Friday.

“We had a talk early this week after that Brookdale game and the guys really came together,” Holt said. “The leadership really stepped up and they made the decision that we had to make some changes energy wise and accountability wise and these guys really stepped up and had, honestly, the best two practices of the year getting ready for this.

“We preach one day at a time here, but it’s one game at a time and one step at a time. If these guys play the way they’re capable of playing, we’ve got a shot. We had to remind them who they were and what kind of ballclub they can be and they showed it. They’re a good baseball team when we play baseball and we don’t give things away and keep things routine.”

The Mighty Oaks came out hot. They batted around in the home first to score six runs, brushing off the run Middlesex got in the top of the inning, and never trailed again.

Six of the first eight batters reached base and scored. The two that didn’t hit a sacrifice fly (Colin McLaughlin) and a two-run single (Aidan Nestor). Then they added three more runs in the second on Rocco String’s RBI double and McLaughlin’s two-run single.

The Mighty Oaks pounded 13 hits in the game. Roman Hernandez had four (and two RBIs). Nestor had a career-high three (and three RBIs). McLaughlin and Tyler Hacker both had two. McLaughlin started at third after it was learned Jay Barber was involved in a car crash earlier in the day. Barber hoped to rejoin the team in time for Saturday’s doubleheader at Middlesex.

“The energy was just different,” freshman pitcher Nick Reckard said. 

“Honestly, it just started at practice, we started building off that practice,” Nestor said. “We had a few good I/Os, stuff like that, it started getting loud and after it was like, all right, we gotta go all in. We’re like burn the board, we gotta go all in, into each game, one by one, and just compete. Coach Holt believes in us and he reminded us after Brookdale. We built off the energy of each other and competed for the whole nine (innings) and good things ended up happening.”

Sophomore Seth McCormick started for the Mighty Oaks. He pitched into the sixth inning, giving up six runs on six hits, walking or hitting five and striking out six before coming out in the middle of a count with an elbow injury of some concern. The players all wore pink wrist wraps during the game in support of McCormick’s seriously ill mother.

Louie Rivera and Reckard followed McCormick to the mound. Rivera finished the sixth, retired the side in order in the seventh and faced two batters in the eighth. Reckard finished the eighth and then ninth, giving up two hits in 1 2/3 innings that was his best outing since throwing four scoreless inning against weak Delaware County on March 24.

“It was refreshing, for sure,” Reckard said. “It was refreshing to go out there and throw the ball good. I felt like the two games I struggled with I was throwing good, I just didn’t hit my spots. To get that and for my coach to trust me, it was awesome. It’s definitely a confidence booster.”

BRANCHBURG — The Mighty Oaks had another record-setting doubleheader when they swept Raritan Valley 23-1 and 27-1.

The 50 runs are the most they’ve scored in a doubleheader since the revival of the program, eclipsing the 46 runs they scored in a sweep of Morris on March 28.

Lilly Peverelle had three hits and three RBIs in the opener and Emme Witter hit a grand slam in the fifth inning to complete a five RBI game. Raegan Wilson and Savannah Palvarento combined on a three-hitter in the circle.

The nightcap belonged to Palverento. She had three hits and four RBIs, hitting a two-run homer and two-run single in the 13-run first inning, and pitched the first two innings in the circle.

Palverento and Witter combined on a five-inning two-hitter and faced only two over the minimum. Palverento gave up a leadoff single, then retired the next six batters in a row. Witter struck out the first five she faced before yielding a double.

Sawyer Simmons went 3-for-3 with three RBIs and scored five runs. Ava Ortiz also went 3-for-3 and Jalyn Rambally also had three hits.

PITTSGROVE — It is not “normal baseball” they play when Overbrook and Schalick get together on the diamond, but one thing that is normal is the way Ricky Watt has been delivering for the Cougars this season.

The teams have played some of the craziest games their coaches can remember since they’ve been involved in the series, a series that has had triple plays, big plays, big hits and walk-offs – and they added another crazy chapter to it Thursday.. 

Schalick walked it off 11-8 on Watt’s three-run homer with none out in the bottom of the tenth, but not before Overbrook rallied twice to force extra innings and cut down the game-winning run at the plate to complete a ninth-inning-ending double play to extend the game or the Cougars made two nice plays in the infield late to keep the Rams at bay.

Is that crazy enough for you?

“At our place it’s usually not as crazy, but at their place it’s … never a normal game, let’s put it that way,” Schalick coach Sean O’Brien said. “Luckily we’ve come out on top.

“The games are always tight, especially at their place. It’s always a back and forth. There’s always one team that’s up and the other team comes back. It’s not normal baseball I would say. Because the games are always tight, I can’t even say we’ve won this many games (in the series). I don’t even know, but I know the games are always competitive.”

Wyatt Cushane led off the Cougars’ winning rally by reaching on an error and leadoff man Evan Sepers drew a walk. Overbrook coach Greg Himes passed on the idea of putting Watt on to load the bases because there were equally dangerous hitters behind him. Jamari Whitley already had two hits and Bo Schalick was 4-for-5 with four RBIs.

Watt fouled off the first pitch, then brought the game to a dramatic close with his homer to center.

“I was just trying to hit the ball hard,” he explained. “There were guys in scoring position, I was just trying to put a ball in play. I got a little jammed, I didn’t get all of it. We’ve got a pretty big field. I didn’t think it was going to go out, but I guess I just got enough of it.

“I’d say my home run against Woodstown last year (in the Elmer Classic), that was probably my favorite one so far, but this one’s coming a close second.”

The energy Watt brings to the Cougars is, well, electric. The latest blast was his fourth homer in five games this season (in 16 at bats) and the third game in a row he’s gone yard. The junior catcher, who wears No. 5, had five hits and five RBIs in the game – both career highs – and is now batting .812 for the season (13-for-16) with 14 RBIs and a slugging percentage of 1.750.

The Cougars are 7-1 all-time in games Watt homers.

“It’s funny, last year he would get overlooked because we had Luke (Pokrovsky) last year,” O’Brien said. “People don’t realize how good of a player Ricky really is. 

“He’s come into the season locked in. He’s looked good all preseason, during practices, during games; he’s just consistent. He was already a good player, but he just worked so much harder to be where he’s at. I’m kind of surprised how hot he is, I thought he might cool down a little bit, but he’s such a good player I think he’s going to be pretty consistent this year.”

The Cougars thought they had the winning run an inning before Watt’s heroics. Courtesy runner Will Sieminski was on third with one out after he was sacrificed over following Cole Hartley’s leadoff double. Mason Hollywood lofted a fly to a drawn-in outfield that Chase Terramagra caught in medium centerfield. Sieminski tagged, but Terramagra’s throw came straight through without a relay and catcher Connor McNally reached back up the line to tag the runner for the final out of the inning.

“We were selling out on that right there,” Himes said. “That was a do-or-die situation. We brought them up in that situation. If you look at the book before that, he’s the kid who lined out to end that inning. He’s young and I thought what a good learning experience for him. He was in his feels a little bit and we told him you’d have to make a play. What a good learning experience for him to know I did what I could do, the kid made a great play, now I have to go make a better one. That’s gonna pay dividends for us in the long run. It’s about the playoffs.”

Cushane robbed Terramagra of a potential go-ahead RBI in the top of the inning with a lunging snag to the glove side to end the inning with runners at first and second. 

The Rams, who suffered a late-inning loss at Pennsville earlier in the week, rallied twice to tie the game. They were down 6-2 when Schalick starter Whitley left the mound, then scored four in the sixth to tie it the first time. Whitley gave up two hits and struck out 10 in his five innings.

The Cougars retook the lead in the bottom of the sixth on Whitley’s sacrifice fly and Bo Schalick’s third RBI hit of the game, then Overbrook retied it with two from the bottom of the lineup off Hartley in the seventh. The Rams scored the tying run on a squeeze bunt by Frank McLaughlin the looked like it might go foul, but hit a bump in the skin infield and stayed in play.

“That’s Overbrook baseball,” Himes said of his team’s resiliency. “Since I’ve been here seven years it’s the way that we like to play. It’s who we are as a town, it’s who we are as a personality.

“We have a young group. The past couple years we had a playing group that played together since they were probably 8 years old. This playing group is really figuring out the speed of the game. It’s great to see us executing on stuff early on.”

Hartley didn’t allow another run and only one hit after McLaughlin’s game-tying squeeze. That’s the element that stands out to the game’s hero.

“I wouldn’t have hit that ball if Cole didn’t keep us in the game,” Watt said. “I think that’s probably the biggest highlight.”

SALEM – Kemp Carr is the type of coach who will play any team, anytime, anywhere, so when he came up empty going through New Jersey trying to find a Week Zero game for his Salem High School football team he went searching.

Wednesday night, the Salem City school board overwhelmingly approved a trip that will have the Rams opening their 2026 season in southwest Ohio, playing a historically strong program in a stadium that once was home to a team that would become a seminal NFL franchise.

The Rams will open their season Aug. 29 against Ironton, Ohio. The town is on the Ohio River, about eight hours from Salem, in the wedge between Kentucky and West Virginia.

The game will be played in Tanks Memorial Stadium, the original home of the Ironton Tanks, the legendary independent pro team (1919-30) that evolved into the Detroit Lions.

“I’m extremely excited for the kids having the opportunity to play other schools outside the state,” Carr said, “but also an opportunity for folks to see how we represent and play football for the state of New Jersey coming out of Salem as well as being able to give them some exposure to two colleges … so it’s a recruitable moment.”

Kemp sought out “several” in-state teams to complete the Rams’ schedule, but nothing materialized. He thought he had a game in West Virginia, but it fell through, too. He dropped an inquiry into the Ohio scheduling portal and said six responded positively within 30 minutes. He said he chose the Fighting Tigers because they were the first to respond.

The trip also will include an educational component as the team will make visits to Marshall University and Ohio University while there.

“The biggest thing for us, and it’s not just athletics, we really try to get our kids exposed to things that are outside of Salem County and outside of New Jersey and this is just another example of us being able to do that for our students,” retiring Salem principal John Mulhorn said. “It’s going to be a great opportunity for them.”

The Rams are trending upward after falling on some tough times the last couple years. They had their first winning season since 2022 last year, going 6-5 and reaching the second round of the South Jersey Group I playoffs after going winless the year before.

The last time they played out of state was 2023 when a late-developing scheduling snafu had them opening the season against Allentown’s Executive Education Charter in Lafayette College’s Fisher Stadium. They hosted Conwell-Egan (Pa.) in 2018.

“We’re glad we’re going to have a Week Zero game,” Carr said. “Last year we basically got Pleasantville at the last minute. Knowing that you’re going to have a Week Zero game in April feels a lot better than you getting that game in July or the end of May. This is good stuff.

“This is something that’s happening all over the state; we’re not the only ones. There are multiple teams that are going to be playing out of state. There are some New Jersey teams going to Florida and going to Texas. We’re just happy to get on a bus and go to Ohio.”

Ironton will give them a test. The Fighting Tigers have gone 60-8 since 2021 and produced 14 Division I players the last three years, but in 2026 they will be looking to bounce back from sanctions related to what the Ohio High School Athletic Association called “serious and pervasive” recruiting violations spanning 2018-25. Among its penalties were a ban from defending the 2024 Division V state title it retained, a fine, probation (three years) and coach suspensions for 2026..

District superintendent Sommer McCorkle told Huntington, W.Va., television station WSAZ in a statement last fall there would be “systemic changes” to local policies on enrollment and transfers following the OHSAA’s investigation and findings. Trevon Pendleton was retained as the Fighting Tigers’ head coach but the school board eliminated the athletics director position he held.

Last season they were officially 8-2, but won nine games on the field before having their final game forfeited. They put up 42 points in eight of their nine wins and 55 or more in all four of their games after the loss with a single-game high of 70. They played teams from New York, Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania as well as Ohio.

The Fighting Tigers will have one game under their belt when they play the Rams. Their season opener takes place the same week Salem plays Camden in its preseason scrimmage.

“We don’t duck no smoke,” Carr said. “Iron sharpens iron and it can’t do anything but make us better one way or the other, no matter what the outcome is. We’re going to learn from it. We’re going to have an opportunity for a get-better moment. This is what you want to do. They’re extremely excited about it over there and so are we.”

NORTH EAST, Md. — The Salem CC softball team split its doubleheader at Cecil College with each team’s winning pitcher delivering a gem.

Jordyn Busch threw a one-hitter as the Mighty Oaks won the nightcap 11-1 to earn the split. Cecil won the opener 5-0 with Taylor Stapleford spinning a no-hitter with 19 strikeouts

The only hit Busch allowed in the five-inning nightcap was a one-out single in the second inning. She gave up an unearned run, walked three and struck out six.

Lilly Peverelle, J.J. Aguirre and Emme Witter all had a pair of hits for the Mighty Oaks. Aguirre and Sawyer Simmons both drove in a pair of runs.

The no-hitter in the opener was Stapleford’s second of the season. The only balls the Mighty Oaks put in play against her were Peverelle’s ground out in the sixth inning and Savannah Palverento’s bunt to the pitcher in the seventh. She retired the last 13 batters she faced.

PENNSVILLE – Jake Layfield battled back from an 0-2 count to slice a two-run, two-out bases-loaded single into right field to snap a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning and lift Pennsville to a 4-2 win over Overbrook.

The Eagles (3-0) loaded the bases on single by Jeff Wagner, Stevie Fatcher and Grady Sanders to finally get Overbrook starter Anthony Nucera out of the game. Nucera held the Eagles to three hits and turned back a threat in the fourth before leaving with one out in the sixth after throwing 84 pitches.

Rams’ reliever Luke Boyd struck out Logan Cowperthwait for the second out of the inning and had Layfield down to his last strike. But the junior shortstop, the No. 9 hitter in the batting order, worked the count to 2-2, showing good discipline to lay off a close curveball on 1-2, before poking his go-ahead hit into right field.

Layfield said he wasn’t worried down in the count because he was getting “encouragement” from his teammates on the bases.

“My heart rate was probably like 125 a little bit, but I took my time before I got in the box, I didn’t want to just step in there,” he said. “I took a couple breaths, looked at my coaches a couple times. I’m pretty sure he just gave me the go-ahead sign three times. He was probably getting a little annoyed, but I had to keep my composure.

“Being down 0-2 was not fun at first, but … I kept a good eye. The curveball was a close one. I’m just glad my pitch was over. I think they were great teammates for (encouraging) me. That was a good thing.”

“He was really battling and I was just trying to help him as much as I could,” Fatcher said. 

It was just Layfield’s second hit of the season and third of his career, but he wasn’t getting many chances to bat as he is this year.

“I was very happy for him,” Eagles coach Matt Karr said. “Last year he kind of got thrown into the fire for us. Halfway through the season we made him our starting shortstop and we DH’d for him every single game. It kind of became a little inside joke among the guys on the team that he was getting DH’d for.

“Then we graduate those guys and some of these guys are expected to take that step up. He’s put together some good at bats. Even before that inning we were talking about the pinch-hitter and Aaron (McAllister), my first-base coach, said I wouldn’t mess with Layfield. He’s put together some good at-bats today, he’s fouled some pitches off, I think he’s on to something. So he kind of had an eye for it. Jake was in a big spot and came up clutch.”

The Eagles scored single runs in the second and third innings, tying the game each time. The first one scored on Cowperthwait’s infield ground out and the second on Logan Streitz’ line single to center. They had the go-ahead run in scoring position with one out and at third with two outs in the fourth but couldn’t bring in it.

Mason O’Brien threw four shutout innings behind starter Streitz to get the win. The junior left-hander gave up two hits, struck out four and picked off a runner in the seventh. The Rams put only one runner in scoring position during his outing. Streitz gave up only two hits and struck out five. The runs he gave up scored on an infield ground out and a wild pitch.

Watt stays hot

CLAYTON – Ricky Watt is seeing the ball better than any time since his freshman year. It’s the kind of thing baseball players are known to say when they’re hitting the ball well, but you can’t argue with the results.

The Schalick junior catcher hit his third home run in his first nine at-bats this season and was one of 11 Cougars to collect a hit, score a run and drive one home in a 23-2 rout of Clayton Tuesday morning.

He went 2-for-3 in the game and is now hitting .800 (8-for-10) on the season. He hit three homers in 75 at-bats last season. The Cougars are 6-1 in games in which he hits a homer.

“I’m seeing the ball really well right now,” Watt said. “I put a lot of work in the offseason, in the cage and in the weight room, and I just think when you do that it’s bound to happen.

“I don’t know if it’s the best I’ve seen the ball. It’s definitely the most home runs I’ve hit in a short span. My freshman year I started off really well. Since then, this is the best I’ve been seeing the ball and been hitting the ball. I think the reason for that is maybe a little mindset change. I’ve just been thinking hit the ball hard, hit the ball as hard as I can pretty much without swinging out of my shoes.”

He hit .435 as a freshman with career highs in hits and RBIs (30). He started that year 13-of-22 over his first seven games (.591) and 23-of-45 in his first 13 (.511). If he plays the same number of games he did as a freshman this year, he’s on pace for 52 hits, 19 homers and 58 RBIs. That’ll certainly get him noticed for the next level, maybe two.

The run this year started right from the start. He homered in his first at-bat of the season – two pitches in – and has reached base in 13 of his 14 plate appearances. His homer against the Clippers was a solo shot in the second inning that gave the Cougars a 6-0 lead.

“He looks really good at the plate, looks confident,” coach Sean O’Brien said. “His home runs have been no-doubters.”

Watt credits the work he’s done in the offseason, particularly at the Baseball Performance Center in Egg Harbor.

“I didn’t play for a team in the fall and ended up making a move (there) and when I wasn’t wrestling I was going there five days a week and to the gym after,” he said. “Matt (Roland) helped me a lot. I think that was probably the biggest part of my training, working with him, working with my swing path, really breaking my swing down to the finest tuning that I can.

“I wouldn’t say I broke it down and rebuilt it, just some refining. It really wasn’t any major changes. It was just kind of polishing, reps and reps and reps. I didn’t really make huge adjustments, it was just kind of refining.”

A total of 13 Cougars collected a hit in the game, 13 scored a run and 12 drove one home. Evan Sepers had three hits and two RBIs. Jamari Whitley had two hits, four RBIs and threw one inning of shutout relief. Cole Hartley and Trail Aufflo had two hits apiece. Will Sieminski, Robert Strain and starting pitcher Jacob Schalick all had two RBIs.

The 23 runs are a season high, topping the 21 they put on Paulsboro in the season opener, and the most they’ve scored in a game since going for 24 against Paulsboro last May.

The Cougars (3-1) scored in every inning of the five-inning game, reached the run-rule threshold in the third and blew it wide open with 10 runs on nine hits in the fifth.

Bryce Harris went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, Cole Sacks went 3-for-4 with two RBIs, Chase Pompper had two hits and Lucas Clement had two RBIs. Cooper Coles and Jaxson Raymond scored four runs apiece.

Raymond pitched the first three innings and got the win. He allowed three hits, three earned runs and struck out three. Jack Beal pitched the fourth and struck out the side.

Historic first day

Accorsi puts 10 enthusiastic players through their paces on first day of Salem CC’s first-ever spring football practice

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

CARNEYS POINT – It was another historic day in the Salem CC football program and the best part about it was the players who went through it didn’t want it to end.

Jay Accorsi and his assistants put 10 players through their paces Monday on the first day of the first spring practice in the history of the Mighty Oaks’ fledgling program. They went through an hour and a half of introductions, indoctrinations and drills with the four coaches on the recently acquired Twins Field practice facility and when it was over the players stayed another 20 minutes to do more work on their own.

“It was awesome,” Accorsi said. “There’s a need for this junior college football program in the area. They’re all local players. I think it (the staying after) shows how much they miss football, how much this opportunity is going to provide them to do football again and go to school, and I think it just reaffirms all the things I believe in why to do this program and start it. They were just ecstatic to be out there. It was a great day.”

The group, decked out in shorts and brand-new green practice jerseys, includes defensive backs, wide receivers, two running backs, a lineman and a quarterback – players already enrolled when the program officially launched Jan. 28. Accorsi anticipates more than 80 players when the team reconvenes for its first preseason camp in the summer.

“The newness of the program certainly revealed itself with all the new stuff,” Accorsi said. “I think they were really excited and jazzed up. I think if you were to ask them they had a great time. It’s exactly what they were looking for. We’re really excited to be there.”

Spring practices will continue through the month of April.

The Mighty Oaks open their inaugural season Aug. 29 against Hudson Valley CC at Pennsville High School. They will play a preseason scrimmage at Montclair State Aug. 21.

WOODSTOWN – The picture and the poster make it official.

Woodstown’s Emma Morgan scored three goals, including the 100th of her career, and had a hand in the go-ahead goal late in the fourth quarter to help the Wolverines’ girls lacrosse team edge Cinnaminson 9-7 Monday morning.

There was some thought the senior scored her milestone goal Saturday when the Wolverines (3-0) swamped Washington Twp. 21-3. They had the traditional commemorative poster ready for her and everything. But a miscommunication left her on 99. Not to worry; she was confident it was going to come sooner than later.

Morgan notched No. 100 with her first goal with 6:26 left in the first quarter that got Woodstown on the board after the Pirates (1-2) scored the first two goals of the game. It took only 16 seconds to get No. 101 to tie the game 2-2, and then she scored again later in the game.

She took the picture with the poster Monday.

“They thought I got it last game so I was kind of aware already it was coming, but I didn’t let it affect me at all,” she said. “This game was scrappy so every goal you had to really earn, which makes you feel better.”

Morgan became the second 100-goal scorer in the Wolverines’ lineup when she scored her first goal of the game. Delaney Walker ran her career total to 180 with two goals. The school record is 236 by Abigail Evans (2015-2018). Arianna Hyman also scored three goals and Angeline Lindenmuth scored once.

“It’s amazing,” Walker said. “I feel like me and Emma have been kicking butts all around the corner and think we’ve done so well together. We’ve been playing together since fifth grade and we just know. We don’t even have to talk to each other, we just directly know how to work together.”

“They do a good job of that,” coach Chris Murray agreed.

The Wolverines overcame adversity three times in the game to earn a measure of revenge for last year’s chippy loss to the Pirates.

They trailed 2-0 and tied it. They fell back 3-2, then scored four straight goals in the second quarter to take a 6-3 halftime lead. The Pirates rallied on the power play to tie it 7-7, then Woodstown’s Arianna Hyman scored twice in the final 2:39 to put it away.

“That was my big thing with them – don’t get in your head and play … your … game,,” Murray said. “They didn’t panic. They stayed calm and collected and played their game and came out with a win. That was big for us.”

Hyman broke the 7-7 tie when she collected the rebound off Morgan’s shot and fired it past the Cinnaminson goalie. Lizzy Daly picked off a Cinnaminson attack in the defensive end, got the ball up to Morgan who fired a long shot on goal that was knocked away, but Hyman was right there to follow it in. Hyman then gave them some insurance when she was stoned on an original shot in the crease, got it back from Angeline Lindenmuth and buried the second chance with 67 seconds to go.

“Last game we were worried about maybe getting face-guarded, Delaney and I, but I’m like let them because we have such a good arsenal of girls that they we’re all getting numbers on the stat board, which is amazing,” Morgan said. “I had no doubt if I didn’t make it someone on my team was going to get that and finish it.

“It’s nice to have that confidence and trust in all my teammates. It’s not just like Delaney and I running the show or something. We all contribute and do so well with each other. We made it, that’s all that mattered.”

Woodstown’s Delaney Walker (17) moved closer to 200 career goals and the school’s career record Monday. (Top photo) Emma Morgan (12) scored her 100th career goal in the game.
