BASEBALL Woodstown 9, Gloucester 1: The Wolverines broke open a close game with six runs in the fourth inning, highlighted by consecutive RBI singles from Talyn Pirore, Blake Rodriguez, Chase Harding and Walker Battavio.
Battavio led Woodstown’s 11-hit attack with three hits and two RBIs, Priore had two hits and two RBIs, and Drew Sutton and Tommy Tucci both had two hits Dante Spina started on the mound and gave up one run over six innings and struck out eight.
Salem Tech 19, Lindenwold 2: The Chargers (11-3) already had a 9-0 lead, then erupted for 10 runs in the fourth to win their seventh in a row. They’ve scored 10 runs in more in all but two of their wins and are all the up to No. 8 in the South Jersey Group I power points standings. Jaxson Raymond went 3-for-3 with two RBIs, Logan Hearn went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and Daulton Sites had two hits and two RBIs.
Pennsville 18, Salem 0: Dante Cummings went 4-for-4 with a homer and four RBIs, Logan Streitz homered and drove in three runs and Mason O’Brien drove in four runs and pitched four innings of one-hit shutout ball with nine strikeouts. Streitz homered in the Eagles’ nine-run first inning and Cummings hit an inside-the-park homer in the nine-run third. Grady Sanders pitched the fifth and struck out the side in order.
SOFTBALL
Pennsville 15, Salem 0: The Eagles took control of their fifth straight win with six runs in the first inning to take control and Savannah Guglielmo spun a four-inning, one-hit shutout in the circle. Graillyn Weber had two hits and Kylie Harris and Gracie Mease both had a pair of RBIs.
Woodbridge Academy 8, Salem Tech 6: Woodbridge opened the season 0-10, but a couple one-run wins turned its season around and the Hornets have been playing better. Despite a 3-12 record, they opened a 7-0 lead over the then-once beaten Chargers after three innings and held on in the NJTAC 1/2 quarterfinals.
The winners had only three hits, but took advantage of 10 walks, seven in the first two innings. Claire Kier had two hits and two RBIs for Salem Tech, which scored three runs in the seventh inning to close the gap. Morgan Fogg and Isabele Roberts also had a pair of hits.
Schalick 11, Camden Tech 1: Freshman Kaylee Broglin went 3-for-3 with four RBIs and Paoge Sparks and Alexa Shimp also had three hits. The Cougars (9-2) extended a 2-1 lead with five runs in the third inning with five players each driving home a run.
Woodstown boys, Schalick girls win Salem County track titles; Goodson, Stewart set records
By Al Muskewitz Riverview Sports News
PENNSVILLE — The war hat is back and anyone who’s a student of the history of Salem County track and field knows what that means.
For all 15 Salem County and all six state championships he won at Penns Grove, Tom Mason wore the same Marine Corps khaki camo desert hat. It’s a little worn and pinched on the seams, but it was clean and fits as well as the first day he got it from one of his former students who served in Iraq. .
It had been tucked in a bedroom drawer beneath a stack of Penns Grove shirts since he retired from coaching. He dug it out Thursday for his first Salem County Championship Meet as Woodstown’s coach and just like that old silk hat they found for Frosty the Snowman it still had magic in it.
The Wolverines won their first Salem County boys track title since 2019 — and Mason’s first as a coach since 2017 — when they pulled away from a tight battle with Penns Grove in the late events at Pennsville High School.
“The war hat is back,” the Wolverines’ first-year coach said, noting the Tri-County coaches back in the day used to refer to him as The Little General. “I knew where it was, I went to the drawer it’s in, pulled it out and said, ‘OK, I’m back, it’s time to bring it out.'”
The key to the victory was scoring points in events they typically hadn’t before, like the jumps and throws outside of Aidan Taulane, and stepping in to steal points where other teams were strong. But in the end it was the traditional way they’ve scored in the past – the distance events – that clinched it for them as they went 1-2-4 in the 800 and 1-2-3 in the 3200. Josh Crawford led the Wolverines across the line in the 800 and Jacob Marino won the 3200 for the fourth year in a row — on his 18th birthday.
“I had to get another one,” Marino said. “I wanted to put our team in a good position and make me happy on my birthday to get the (3200) four times. I think the win overall as a team is a huge (birthday) present. It’s going to be our first one in several years and the four times is a big thing for me. I’m really proud of that.”
Ironically, it was the same way they closed out the Red Devils Monday for Mason’s 400th career dual meet victory.
“My philosophy has always been (score in) multiple places,” Mason said. “If you can do that you have a very good chance of winning and that’s what these kids did today. The unsung hero was Karson Chew for what he did in the 400 hurdles, a race he’s never run before.
“Schalick and Penns Grove are very, very good teams and both of them easily could have won the meet, but I believe these teams kind of overlooked us because I never once said to the opposing coaches we’re gonna win this thing today, as was said to me a couple times,. We’re just trying to be competitive. We’re going to score where people don’t think and it started going 2-3 in javelin – nobody expected that – and then the 2-4 in the high jump and that set us up.”
For most of the day it was a battle between Mason’s new team and his old one. They traded the lead five times before the Senior Recognition break, with neither leading the other by more than eight once the meet got going. .The Wolverines’ 1-2-4 finish in the 1600, led by Marino’s second title in the event, provided a 16-point swing that put them back on top.
After the 110 hurdles posted, Penns Grove led by four before the Wolverines started pulling away.
“The name of the game is to compete and to fight; if everybody did their job we would be close,” Penns Grove coach Andrae Ames said. “This is my second year as coach. I’m so proud of these guys. They work hard … they listen … they bought into the program – and it’s showing. I’m just excited for the future.”
Speaking of the future, a question has persisted whether Mason would return to coach the Wolverines in 2027 after coming out of retirement this spring to take the team out of an admiration for their senior group and desire to see them succeed, and he remained non-committal throughout the season. Pressed on Thursday he said he has “sort of made a decision,” but wasn’t ready to disclose it publicly. “Let’s just say I really love the freshmen and sophomores that are out; we’ll let it go at that,” he said.
If he does return, trust the war hat will come with him.

Penns Grove’s Kylee Goodson (L), shown with coach Andrae Ames, won three events and set a record, to be named boys track MVP at the Same County Track Championship. Schalick’s David Stewart was the field MVP.
Record setters
Penns Grove’s Kylee Goodson and Schalick’s David Stewart set records and were named boys track and field MVPs, respectively. Goodson set the county 400 record (48.89) among his two individual and 4×400 relay wins. Stewart set the triple jump meet record (47-8.25) among his four individual wins.
In addition to his 400 win, Goodson won the 100 (11.04), anchored the 4×400 relay and finished second to Stewart in the 200 (22.33).
“It was very exceptional,” Goodson said. “Like my coach said this is a business trip, so I came out here and did what I had to do. I didn’t even know I set a record. When they said it I was happy, but I also had to lock in to my 200.”
Stewart continued his domination in the county meet. The junior set the tone for his meet by winning the long jump (22-3) on his first attempt of day. He also won the 400 hurdles (54.91) to go with the 200 and triple jump. In three years at the County Meet, he has 10 total golds.
“The meet record in the triple jump felt really good because I’ve been stuck at 45 all season and last season I was 45,” he said. “Another jumping coach gave me a tip on the last jump. I just did what he told me and it all came together and I jumped 47-8. Now that I’ve hit that it’s kind of the minimum, I want to get out to 48, 49, eventually 50.”
Schalick girls three-peat
Schalick won the girls county title for the third year in a row. It wasn’t as easy as last year when they won by 63 points, but it wasn’t as tight as two years ago when they won it in the 4×400 relay, either.
The Cougars won only four events, but they medaled (top 3) in 12 and won multiple medals in three. They swept the javelin.
“I wouldn’t say (it was) reasonably easy,” Pine said. “I am very surprised. Salem has such a strong team and so does Woodstown, so it was a complete surprise and shock to me. The girls came out and just outperformed themselves today and they continuous strive for better.”
Salem and Woodstown gave them a serious run. The Rams won four events and swept the 100 and 200 with Raniyah Parsons-Smith winning both. The Wolverines won five events with Abby Marino sweeping the 800, 1600 and 3200 to win girls track MVP honors.
Schalick junior Sebrina Bradford was the girls field MVP. She won the discus (109-1) and finished second to teammate Navaeh Robinson in the javelin with a PR of 91-7.
“It’s amazing,” Bradford said. “I’m proud of all of us because we do so many things individually. I’m just so proud of them, and proud of myself, too.”
NOTES: Schalick’s Gary Simonini was the day’s first boys winner, taking the javelin with an official PR of 161-5 using an implement he put in competition for the first time. His rainbow model has been with him since his freshman year, but it produced his shortest throw of four attempts Thursday. He put it aside and hit the winning mark with golden jav. “I think this is my new gamer for the rest of the year,” he said … In a battle of the county’s top throwers, Penns Grove’s JaKai Ingram edged Woodstown’s Taulane in the shot put for the second time this week … Penns Grove’s Arianna Dowe was the day’s first girls champion, winning her first county title in the long jump (15-3) … One of the more courageous efforts of the day was turned in by Woodstown’s Lia Covely. The Wolverines’ senior suffered a leg injury somersaulting at the finish of her second-place run in the girls 400 hurdles, but she bounced back to win the 100 hurdles by more than a second. Schalick’s Brooke Valentine won the 400 hurdles by 0.06 seconds.
Schalick junior David Stewart brings home one of his four wins in the Salem County Track Championships Thursday. Stewart has won 10 gold medals in the event during his career.

WOODSTOWN — Drew Sutton threw a perfect game without throwing a perfect game.
The Woodstown freshman right-hander delivered his second straight dynamic outing and the best start of his young career, pitching a complete-game four-hitter with a career-high eight strikeouts to win a pitching duel against two of Pennsville’s best and the game 2-1.
SUTTON
Sutton threw a career-high 90 pitches (69 for strikes) in the longest outing of his high school career that was played in a little over two hours. He threw more pitches for strikes against the Eagles (69) than he had total pitches in any of his previous four outings this seasons.
He retired the first eight batters he faced before Jake Layfield singled in the third. With the exception of the run Pennsville scored on Steve Fatcher’s two-out RBI double in the fourth, no runner reached third base against him.
“All my pitches were probably the best they’ve ever been and my change-up every time I threw it it was the perfect spot,” he said. “It felt pretty good. Even before the game my arm felt pretty good. I knew I was going to pitch good.”
“He just challenges everyone; he’s not afraid of contact,” Woodstown coach Marc DeCastro said. “He’s got three really good pitches and when you play a team that has as many good lefties as they have you’ve got to be able to throw a changeup, and that was his out pitch against all the lefties. And once we got the lefties on the changeup he’s able to throw the fastball for strikes. He just never stops throwing strikes.”
The last time Sutton felt as good as he did Wednesday was the last time he pitched — a week and a half ago before the Wolverines’ schedule broke for the school’s Senior Trip. In his previous outing, April 18 against Sterling, he gave his team six innings of three-hit shutout relief and struck out seven in another 2-1 win. He’s now 4-0 with a 1.17 ERA and 25 strikeouts (to just two walks) in 24 innings pitched.
“I’ll be honest,” DeCastro said. “He’s going to face different types of hitters, different levels of hitters, but this is the same as he’s always been. He throws a million strikes.
“As much as he strikes people out, he does it on three or four pitches. He doesn’t take a long time to do it. He gets early contact on really good off-speed pitches so he only throws 12-13 pitches an inning. That’s really the only way you’re going to throw a complete game for me in the regular season, be outrageously efficient.”
The Eagles (7-5) never really threatened him – or at least he didn’t let them. They got a runner at second with two outs in the third; left him there. Fatcher got his RBI double with two outs in the fourth and was stranded. They put the first two runners on in the fifth with the help of a throw pulling a fielder off second on a force and Sutton got out of it with two strikeouts and a fly to center. They had a runner on the move in the sixth, but that went nowhere as the batter was called out for interference.
“We’ve got to find ways to put the ball in play,” Pennsville coach Matt Karr said. “Their guy did a good job; kept us at bay. He was able to settle in and be comfortable. We were able to get some guys on, but you’re not going to win baseball games if you can’t move guys over. We have to figure ourselves out and get back to playing good baseball.”
The Wolverines (8-5) could say the same thing the way their offense has been going of late.
Pennsville’s pitchers – Gavin Spears (10 strikeouts) and Mason O’Brien (in the sixth) – didn’t yield much, either. They held Woodstown to four hits, too, but issued five walks.
The Wolverines scored their two runs in the first inning on Ty Coblentz’ sacrifice fly after Walker Battavio drew a leadoff walk and worked his way around the bases on a pair of wild pitches and Tommy Tucci’s RBI single with a lazy relay. They put runners at second and third with one out in the fourth and the top of the order coming up, but Spears got out of that jam with two strikeouts.
“We did a good job getting on and couldn’t finish, so we have to learn how to be able to finish,” DeCastro said. “We just had too many opportunities to score runs. That game should’ve been – no offense to anyone – maybe 5 or 6-1. Beginning of the season was good, the last few games we really struggled. We have to start doing some different type of things to score runs.”
With those offensive struggles, Sutton knew he had to pitch good, especially late in the game. And he did.

RANCOCAS VALLEY 10, SCHALICK 2: The Group 4 Red Devils batted around in the first inning and scored four runs to take control, then held the Cougars hitless for four innings and off the scoreboard until the sixth inning.
RV’s first inning was highlighted by RBI doubles from starting pitcher Eddie Ruminski and Aiden Gaskill. Gaskill went 4-for-4 with two RBIs.
Ruminski gave the Red Devils four no-hit innings, allowing only three baserunners. Cole Hartley broke up the no-hitter with a leadoff single in the fifth off reliever Aiden Gaines. Hartley was erased on a double play the next play.
The Cougars scored their two runs in the sixth inning when Wyatt Cushane raced home from third on a passed ball and Bo Schalick delivered a one-out RBI single.
PITMAN 20, PENNS GROVE 5: Carter Snyder went 4-for-4 with two extra-base hits and five RBIs and three Panthers pitchers kept the Red Devils at arms length to snap a six-game losing streak.
The Red Devils answered Pitman’s two in the first with two in the home half of the inning on Dylan Hyatt’s steal of home and an error in the outfield, but the Panthers scored a run in the second and never trailed again, ultimately breaking it open with 13 runs in the sixth and seventh innings.
Josh Widen had three hits and two RBIs for Penns Grove. Lian Irvin and starting pitcher Dylan Hyatt had two hits apiece.
OVERBROOK 15, SALEM 0: Connor McNally went 3-for-3 with four RBIs and Luke Boyd held the Rams to one hit in the five-inning game. Boyd was one out away from a perfect game when Danny Grusemeyer reached on an error and Zay Davis broke up the no-hitter with a infield single.
Softball: Weber sharp, Harris homers
PENNSVILLE — Woodstown had three runs on the board after only four hitters, but Pennsville pitcher Graillyn Weber was unyielding after that and the Eagles rallied to take a 5-3 victory.
The Wolverines got their runs on a leadoff double by Ellie Wygand, RBI single by Talia Guardascione, an RBI double by Leah Clark and Kendall Young’s sacrifice fly for the first out of the inning. From there, Weber put up zeroes. She gave up only five more hits and retired 20 of the last 25 batters she faced. Once the Eagles took the lead in the third she retired 12 of the last 16.
“Graillyn stayed positive and continued to work her pitches and settled in nicely,” Pennsville coach Beth Jackson said.
“She did an awesome job today and the defense was right there behind her to back her up,” catcher Kylie Harris added.
The Eagles got single runs in the home first and second, then took the lead in the third. Harris tied it with a one-out solo homer and Kenzie Widener put them ahead by racing home from third on a passed ball. They added an insurance run in the fifth on Widener’s RBI double.
“After the top of the first the girls went to work and chipped away at their lead,” Jackson said. “They put the ball in play and got some timely hits.”
Harris, Widener and Reagan Wariwanchik all had a pair of hits for the Eagles (8-3). Guardascione had three hits for the Wolverines (6-5)
The Wolverines had runners at second and third with two outs in the seventh, but Weber crushed the threat with a game-ending pop to second.
OVERBROOK 20, SALEM 0: The Rams erupted for 16 runs in the third inning and held Salem to one hit in the four-inning game. Khloe Bubier had Salem’s only hit, a one-out single in the first inning

WOODBURY — West Deptford’s Rylee Delaney bounced back from a double bogey on her first hole of the day and played the last eight holes even par to shoot 2-over 38 for medalist honors in the South Jersey Girls Invitational at Westwood Golf Club.
She won the individual title by four shots over Cumberland’s Nicole Tarquinio. Moorestown (195) won the team title by seven strokes over Clearview. Kingway was third (203).
Delaney, a senior, bogeyed the par-5 first and because of the shotgun start was four shots behind Moorestown’s Sonia Rosenman, who birdied her first hole (No. 4). But she steadily closed the gap, pulled even with her birdie at 6 and took the lead with the birdie at 7.
Schalick finished 11th (262), eight shots ahead of 12th-place Pennsville. Ava Marynowicz posted the Cougars low round (57). Gabriella Marandola shot the low round for Pennsville (58).

Woodstown breaks nearly 50-year-old Woodbury Relays meet record in 4×800; report also includes Saturday Salem County baseball results
By Al Muskewitz Riverview Sports News
WOODBURY – Hey, Woodstown 4×800 relay team, you just broke a nearly 50-year-old record in the Woodbury Relays. How are you going to celebrate?
We’re going to Disney World.
That’s not some cheap and easy way to get into the story of the Wolverines’ latest record-breaking relay. Because it’s actually true. All of it.
The Wolverines’ Four Horsemen relay team – Karson Chew, Jacob Marino, David Farrell and Josh Crawford – ran a sizzling 7:52.95 Saturday to win the Boys One 4×800, qualifying for nationals and blowing away the meet record of 8:06.10 set by Woodbury in 1978. One of the architects of the old record, Dick Caton, was officiating at the start line. Making the milestone even more special for one of the record-setters, it was anchor Crawford’s 18th birthday.
“It was a great relay today,” Crawford said. “This is a perfect birthday present. Our whole team really made sure that this one would be memorable.”
And the timing for a champion and their storyline couldn’t be more perfect. The three seniors on that relay – Chew, Marino and Crawford – head off to Woodstown’s Senior Trip – really, to Disney World – Sunday. You can’t make this up.
“It’s like what they do in the NFL,” Crawford said. “They celebrate the same way.”
Chew started them off with an opening leg of 1:57.02 and had a two-second lead when he passed the baton. Crawford brought them home with his best-ever split of 1:51.4, making up a 1.2-second deficit at the exchange to win by more than three seconds. Glassboro finished second at 7:56.44. The Bulldogs put a calculated lineup together to challenge the Wolverines with Crawford dueling Zacchaeus Harrigan in the final leg.
“Honestly, I think it was so good because I’m a chaser,” Crawford said. “I always run my best times when I’m behind people I know are good competition. Zacchaeus really gave me a run for my money today … It really just came down to who was the stronger runner in the last 200 meters of the race.
“We knew Glassboro was going to put up some competition because they were an eight-flat team and they really organized their relay perfectly. They really put to the test what we could actually accomplish today.”
Obviously, none of the Woodstown runners were even born when Caton and Co. set the old record, and probably neither were a lot of their parents. Woodstown coach Tom Mason was there when it happened, coaching the Penns Grove girls team that ran in the meet for the first time and won three events that day.
“I thought it was fantastic,” Mason said.
The Wolverines won two relays and finished top three in two others to finished tied for second place in the scored portion of the meet. They might’ve even won it had they not finished second in the 4×400 relay after a clerical error landed them in the slow heat. They ended up with 36 points and tied with Glassboro, just four points behind meet winner Camden.
They also won the sprint medley relay (Chew, newcomers Anthony White and Ricky Watts, and Crawford, 3:33.97), finished second in the 4×400 (3:25.08) and were third in the distance medley relay, setting the school record (10:53.31).
The all-inclusive field events didn’t figure in the team scoring, but winners do receive a Woodbury Watch and Aidan Taulane won the discus (164-7) and finished third in the shot put (48-1.5). He also had a discus throw that appeared to be close to qualifying him for the nationals, but it was right at the boundary line.
Penns Grove finished fourth in the team race. The Red Devils were second in both the 4×100 and 4×200 relays, breaking a school record in the 4×2 that stood for 44 years.
Salem was sixth and Schalick T-7. The Rams were third in the 4×400 and the 4×200. Schalick was second in the shuttle hurdle relay, third in the sprint medley relay (two-tenths of a second off the school record) and had five field athletes place in the top five.
Salem finished a solid second in the girls standings. The Rams won the 4×100 and 4×200 and was second in the 4×400. Freshman Dynastie Tucker anchored all three relays.
RAP CURRY INVITATIONAL: Woodstown’s girls 4×800 relay team of Arianna Mott, Abby Marino, Kiera Porch and Kyrsten Dussault ran a season’s best 11:12.52 for the Wolverines’ best finish in the running events in Yeadon, Pa. Kailyn Kennedy had a 10th-place finish in the individual high jump (4-7).
The Wolverines had several top 20 finishers. Lia Covely placed 14th in the 100 hurdles (17.52) and 18th in the 300 hurdles (52.73). Juliette Angelus was 15th in the pole vault (6-6) and Abby Marino 18th in the 1600 (5:31.01).
