CHERRY HILL — Pennsville may have been down early in its Diamond Classic opener with fourth-seeded Cherry Hill West Tuesday, but the Eagles certainly didn’t consider themselves out.
They fell behind 6-1 after three innings, but they rallied with three in the sixth to make it a two-run game before the Lions scored two in the bottom of the inning and went on to win 8-4.
The sixth inning wasn’t the first time the Eagles knocked on the door and the Lions answered in the bottom of the inning.
They scored a run in the third on on Jeff Wagner’s two-out RBI double to make it 3-1, but the Lions got three in the bottom of the inning to go up 6-1.
The Eagles loaded the bases in the sixth with none out and Stevie Fatcher singled a run home. The Lions cut down Wagner trying to score on Grady Sanders’ bunt and Sanders was ruled out on interference, but Logan Cowperthwait kept the inning alive with a two-run single that made it 6-4. That’s all they would get.
West got two of the runs back on a run-scoring ground out and an RBI single by Jason Audino, then set the Eagles down in order in the seventh.
ST. AUGUSTINE 13, WOODSTOWN 3: Things looked good for the Wolverines early as they scored three in the top of second to take a 3-1 lead, but the third-seeded Hermits stormed back with four in the bottom of the inning and continued to score, denying Woodstown coach Marc DeCastro his 100th career win.
The Wolverines were setting up for a big inning in the second when they loaded the bases on two walks and a bunt single. Sol Elmer followed with a two-run single and after Talyn Priore walked to reload the bases Chase Harding was hit by a pitch to force another run home. But that’s they got as pitcher John Eddis got the next three hitters — the top of the Woodstown lineup — on a fly out and two strikeouts.
The Hermits retook the lead in the bottom of the inning and never trailed again. They broke it open with six in the fourth and walked it off with a run in the fifth.
Two St. Augustine pitchers held Woodstown to five hits. Tommy Tucci had two of them.

Cole Hartley started on the mound for the Cougars and left with a 9-7 lead. Schalick worked the final two innings, allowing two hits, a walk and striking out two.
GLASSBORO 10, PENNS GROVE 0: Ryan Gendaszek and Jimmy McMahon drove in three runs apiece and three Glassboro pitchers combined on a one-hit shutout as the Bulldogs run-ruled the Red Devils for the second straight day. Liam Irvin had Penns Grove’s only hit.
WILDWOOD 10, SALEM TECH 4: Nolan Mawhinney’s two-run single snapped a 2-2 tie and sparked a five-run third inning that helped the Warriors snap the Chargers’ eight-game winning streak. Mawhinney went 2-for-3 with three RBIs in the game. The Chargers stook the first lead on Cole Sacks’ RBI double in the first and tied it 2-2 on Brayden McAllister’s two-out line single in the second.
PITMAN 17, SALEM 3: Logan Williams and Carter Snyder each had three hits and the Panthers broke the game open with a seven-run fourth inning. The Rams scored two in the second when Pitman misplayed Daniel Grusemeyer’s grounder and a run in the fourth when they booted another Grusemeyer grounder.

WOODSTOWN 7, MAPLE SHAPE 1: Ellie Wygand’s two-run single highlighted a five-run second inning that sent the Wolverines to a victory that snapped a five-game losing streak, their longest since 2019. The senior outfielder also ripped a two-run double in the fifth to extend the lead to 7-0. She’s working on an eight-game hitting streak in which she’s batting .593 (16-for-27). Leah Clark kept the Wildcats off the board until the seventh. She scattered four hits and struck out four.
“The last few games we have just been a bit off as a team, almost to a point the it felt like the preseason all over again,” Wolverines coach Rob Hildebrand said. “We weren’t being consistent in the field nor getting the job done offensively with runners in scoring position.
“That all changed tonight and I feel like the girls are back on track and playing the we all know they can.”
PENNSVILLE 17, CLAYTON 1: The Eagles turned up the power and speed and pummeled the Clippers to maintain their two-game lead in the TCC Classic Division. Kylie Harris, Kenzie Widener and Taylor Bass all hit two-run inside-the-park homers.
The Eagles pounded out 15 hits, six for extra bases. Widener went 3-for-3 and was a single shy of the cycle. Harris was 3-for-4 with four RBIs. Bass had two hits and three RBIs. Harris now has 149 career hits. She collected her 100th career RBI Monday against West Deptford.
Graillyn Weber scattered five hits in the four-inning game and struck out four.
SCHALICK 18, OVERBROOK 15: The Cougars erupted for 11 runs in the first inning, extended the lead to 13-0 after two and then held on for dear life. The bottom five hitters in the Schalick lineup went a combined 14-for-25 with eight RBIs. Khloe McGrath went 4-for-5, while Liv VanAcker and winning pitcher Kaylee Broglin had three hits apiece.
The Cougars sent 15 batters to the plate in the first with the help of five errors and four walks. The Rams scored seven in the fourth and drew within 13-10 in the fifth, but the Cougars pulled away with five in the bottom of the inning.
SALEM TECH 19, PENN TECH 4: Shelby Drummond went 4-for-4 with her first career homer and three RBIs, while Izzy Roberts, Claire Kier and Shelby Liber had three hits apiece to pace the 20-hit attack that got the Chargers back on the winning track after having their seven-game winning streak snapped in their last outing. Drummond hit a two-out, two-run homer in the second inning.
GLASSBORO 15, PENNS GROVE 1: The Bulldogs answered Penns Grove’s run in the fourth with eight in the bottom of the inning to put the game away. Marissa Rode hit a two-run inside-the-park homer in the inning and the Bulldogs worked 10 walks in the inning — eight in a row at one point — to keep the line moving. Domari Torres Caraballo scored the Red Devils’ run when she circled the bases after the Bulldogs misplayed her single.
PITMAN 11, SALEM 1: Maura Quinn went 3-for-3, Colette Rollins had two hits and three RBIs, and Emery Sharpnack drove in four runs for lead the Panthers. Akayla Nichols drove in Salem’s run with an RBI single in the fourth.
Golf
Schalick’s Jaxon Weber birdied his first and his last holes of the round and had another one in between on the way to a 7-over-par 79 and a T-8 finish at the South Group I Sectionals at Cream Ridge Golf Club.
Weber started on the par-5 ninth and nearly chipped in for eagle but got the birdie, then closed the round with a birdie on the par-4 eighth after hitting an 8-iron from 150 yards to three feet. The opening birdie didn’t translate into continued success as he played the first four holes on the back nine in 5-over. He played the rest of the side in 1-under with a birdie at the par-4 16th.
“It was a good start to the day with a birdie, but the holes in between were kind of tough,” he said. “The greens were fast and hard pin placements, but ending it off with a birdie to break 80 is always nice.”
The Cougars also got an 85 from Seth Fisher and shot 349 as a team to finish tied for eighth with Delaware Valley. Fisher also birdied his first hole of the day, the par-4 sixth.
Woodstown shot 367 as a team and placed 16th. Alejandro Vazquez posted the Wolverines’ low round (88).

Regular Season
PENNSVILLE 209, SALEM TECH 241: Pennsville’s Trevor Hann shot 49 to win medalist honors at Sakima CC.
GLOUCESTER CATHOLIC 168, SCHALICK 179: With its main team competing in the sectionals, the Cougars went into the match with their second group and junior Shawn Kelly shared medalist honors with a 40 at Centerton CC. He had two bogeys, two doubles and a birdie. GC senior Zack Payne also shot 40.
Tennis
No. 3 singles Luke Shaw bounced back from dropping a first-set tiebreaker to square the match and then rallied to win an intense third-set tiebreaker to beat Marcus Lorenzana 6-7 (4-7), 6-0, 11-9 and clinch Woodstown’s 3-2 win over Highland.
The team match was tied 2-2 when Shaw went up 3-0 in the second set. He was down 5-9 in the tiebreaker, but rallied to win the next six points to win the match. It was a doubly satisfying win for the senior. He lost a third-set tiebreaker to Lorenzana on April 13.
“The entire team was on pins and needles watching it,” Woodstown coach Jesse Stemberger said.
Highland (11-6) won the other two singles matches, but the Wolverines (11-5) swept the two doubles points.
