PENNS GROVE – If all the things Chuck Weigle is hearing are true, he has growing confidence the his team will have a spot in the South Jersey Group I baseball playoffs next week, but the Penns Grove baseball coach learned a long time ago not to count his chickens before they hatch.

The Red Devils have been doing a dance with Salem and Clayton for the final spots in the playoff. They had a chance to gain some major points Thursday, but lost to Wildwood 6-1 on their Senior Day to keep the race in the back tight.

Going into the day, the Red Devils (5-13) held the 16th and final power points spot, two points ahead of Clayton and 18.5 behind No. 15 Salem. But he’s also heard through the coaching grapevine that Salem (confirmed by Riverview Sports News) and Clayton both were opting out of the playoffs, potentially moving the Red Devils into the field without much more effort.

The cutoff date for power points is Saturday and the Red Devils are trying to find additional games before the deadline without much success. As it unfolds, Weigle is content to wait for the official word after Monday’s seeding meeting before making travel plans and as a 15 or 16 seed they will be going on the road.

“We’re waiting to see how everything pans out, we’re waiting until the information is sent out to us,” he said. “We’re looking ahead towards the future and hoping for the best.

“I don’t want to give these guys a false sense of reality and hope. It’s been going back and forth between us and Clayton for a week or so. It’s been real interesting to say the least. We look at it after one game’s entered and then you look at it 30 minutes later and it’s changed again.”

Had the Red Devils won Thursday, they would have netted more than 30 power points and basically punched their ticket. With the loss, they netted only six more points and have 162. Salem netted seven points for its loss to Schalick and Clayton netted just two for its loss to Glassboro for 157.

If the Red Devils make it, it will be their first playoff appearance since 2021, when they were 2-15 and lost to Woodstown in the first round.

“I just hope we have an opportunity to get in, but whatever happens happens,” shortstop Elijah Crespo said. “It would be a great experience, another journey that we can just have fun and come back and play baseball.”

“It would be the first time in high school for me playing baseball,” pitcher Chase Wills said. “From where we started at the beginning of the year to fight back and make it into the playoffs would mean a lot, especially being my last year. It’s been nice to even sniff out playoffs.”

With all that was at stake, the Red Devils sent their best arm to the mound to give them a chance. Wills gave up only three hits and struck out six in what might be his final home game, but some tough luck in the field worked against him. Only four of Wildwood’s runs were earned.

“I gave my all, did my best to help the team win,” Wills said. “Sadly, it didn’t come through, but I felt I did the best I could.”

Crespo’s RBI double to left center gave the Red Devils a 1-0 lead in the first. Wills smoothly retired the first seven batters he faced, but Wildwood got to him in the third.

Junior Hans gave the Warriors the lead with a two-run single and he later scored from second when he beat the throw from first on a slow roller in the infield. The Warriors added another run in the fifth and got two more in the sixth.

Wildwood pitchers Logan Totten and Harley Buscham made life difficult for the Red Devils. Tommy Mattioli’s single leading off the seventh was their first since Crespo’s RBI double in the first. They did put runners at second and third with two outs in the sixth, but couldn’t bring them home.

SCHALICK 14, SALEM 3: The Cougars broke away from a scoreless tie with eight runs in the third inning and backed it up with a six-run fifth.

Luke Pokrovsky and Ricky Watts had two-run singles in the fifth. Starting and winning pitcher Evan Glaspey had a two-run single in the sixth to walk it off.

Pokrovsky, Watts, Jake Siedlecki, Lucas D’Agostino and Jamari Whitley all had two hits for the Cougars.

Salem scored all its runs in the fifth inning on a sacrifice fly, a bases-loaded walk and bases-loaded hit batsman.

PENNSVILLE 4, OVERBROOK 1: Logan Streitz’s two-run single with none out in the fifth inning broke a 1-1 tie. Chase Burchfield singled Streitz home two batters later.

Cohen Petrutz and Streitz combined to hold Overbrook to three hits. The Rams scored an unearned run in the first inning, but Pennsville tied it on Jacob Wagner’s one-out single in the second.

BASEBALL

SCHALICK 10, GLASSBORO 0: Jamari Whitley went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and pitched two perfect innings of relief to close out a one-hit shutout. Luke Pokrovsky and Ricky Watt had two hits apiece and Enrico Hatz had two RBIs.

Hatz had a two-run single in the first. Whitley had an RBI single in the third and a two-run double in the fourth. Watt had a two-run single in the fifth to walk it off.

Cole Hartley for Schalick pitched the first three innings for Schalick (12-9, 6-2 TCC Diamond) and got the win. It was the Cougars’ second one-hit shutout in as many days. Their pitchers haven’t given up a run in their last 14 innings and have given up just two runs and five hits in their last three games (19 innings).

“The pitchers have done a great job of getting ahead of batters and pitching to contact, trying to limit free bases,” Schalick coach Sean O’Brien said.

PENNS GROVE 18, LEAP 5: Elijah Crespo hit his fifth homer of the year, Chase Wills hit his first career homer and came within a triple of the cycle and the Red Devils continued their march towards a South Jersey Group I playoff spot with their third win in a row and second over the Lions in three days.

The post-season prospects are looking better each day. The Red Devils (5-12) are No. 17 in the SJ-I power points standings, but current No. 16 Clayton and No. 15 Salem are said to be opting out of the playoffs. They can make a big move by beating Wildwood Thursday.

The five wins in the season are the most since 2017 (5-16) – they were 7-15 in 2016 – and the three-game winning streak is their longest since they won three in a row near the end of 2014 (14-10), a season that also included a five-game winning streak.

Dylan Hyatt pitched 2 2/3 innings with seven strikeouts to get the win. Ryan Hyatt went 2-for-3 with five runs scored and two RBIs. Gio Torres went 2-for-3 with two RBIs.

Baseball roundup: Pedrick becomes second Woodstown player this season to reach 100 career hits; Schalick’s Pokrovsky throws gem, Pennsville loses a heartbreaker and more

GLASSBORO – Andrew Pedrick and Brent Williams have gotten to be good friends playing alongside each other in the Woodstown infield and batting behind each other in the lineup.

As you’d expect of good friends they talk about a lot of things. Among them lately is the occasion conversation about getting 100 hits before they leave the program.

Williams got his milestone hit three weeks ago against Penns Grove. Pedrick joined the club Tuesday, landing on the number exactly after collecting two singles in the Wolverines’ 18-3 rout of Glassboro.

“It’s really nice we both have that connection together that we got 100 hits the same year, because I don’t think it’s happened for a while at Woodstown,” Pedrick said. “I know Brent was saying it’s been a long time, maybe since the early 2000s.

“It’s something me and my brother (Matt) always talked about,. He used to play on Woodstown (2015-18) and he just always told me I could get it. I never really thought I could. It’s just always something I really wanted.”

Pedrick has had at least 20 hits in each of his four seasons on the varsity. He has 25 this season and sports a .338 career batting average. He’s gotten at least one hit in each of the last four games.

“I really wanted to get it at the Lee Ware Tournament (last weekend),” he said. “Since I didn’t get it then, I really wanted to get it now, especially because we don’t have a lot of games left.”

After being denied earlier in the game, Pedrick reached the milestone on a soft infield single in the Wolverines’ 10-run sixth inning that broke open the game. He beat out a close play at first and then got excited because he reached a spot not many in the program have achieved.

Pedrick has a collection of baseballs from momentous occasions in his career on the ground floor of his house. He estimates between 30 and 40 balls in the stash. This latest milestone ball, he says, is going to be displayed “somewhere nice” in his room.

“It was really important to me because it’s something I can say I did and it’s a really big accomplishment for me, especially going to college next year (Harford CC) and having that under my belt,” Pedrick said. “It makes me feel better about myself.”

With the win, the Wolverines (13-8) clinched a share of the Tri-County Diamond Division title. They a game ahead of Schalick with one to play and have beaten the Cougars twice.

Williams led the Wolverines’ 16-hit attack with three hits and three RBIs. Jack Holladay went 2-for-4 with four RBIs. Pedrick had two RBI to go with his two hits. Mark Banff also had two hits and two RBIs.

SCHALICK 5, OVERBROOK 0: Luke Pokrovsky did it all for the Cougars. The junior went 3-for-3, hit a three-run homer and pitched a one-hitter with a career-tying 16 strikeouts. He threw 92 pitches and faced only two batters over the minimum.

He retired the first 14 batters he faced before Tyler Burger broke up the gem with a two-out infield single in the fifth inning. The only other baserunner he allowed came on a sixth-inning walk. Neither runner reached second base. His last 10 outs were all by strikeout.

Pokrovsky now has 91 strikeouts in 43 1/3 innings this season and 226 in 131 career innings.

J.T. Fleming and Ricky Watt had two hits apiece and had RBI singles in fourth to give the Cougars (11-9) a 2-0 lead. Pokrovsky hit his three-run homer in the sixth. He’s 11 hits shy of 100 for his career.

PITMAN 4, PENNSVILLE 3: Connor Sharkey raced home with the winning run on a two-out, two-strike wild pitch with bases loaded to cap Pitman’s two-run seventh inning rally. The Panthers tied the game on Stephen Devanney’s RBI double.

The Eagles took a 3-2 lead in the top of the inning on Jacob Grant’s RBI ground out and Cohen Petrutz’ two-out RBI single.

Mason O’Brien and Peyton O’Brien had two hits apiece at the top of the Eagles’ lineup. Back-to-back doubles by the O’Briens in the third produced Pennsville’s first run and tied the game 1-1.

PENNS GROVE 11, CAMDEN EASTSIDE 2: Elijah Crespo homered and threw a complete game with 10 strikeouts as the Red Devils (4-12) continued their march towards a South Jersey Group I playoff spot. The Red Devils pulled away from a 4-2 game with a seven-run fourth inning.

Ryan Hyatt and Ethan Brooks both had a pair of hits as the Red Devils won back-to-back games for the second time this season. Ethan Brooks, Dylan Hyatt and Chase Wills all had a pair of RBIs.

With the win, Penns Grove now has 151 power points, five behind current No. 16 Clayton, but with Salem opting out of the playoffs the Red Devils would hold the 16th and final SJ-I playoff spot. The cutoff date for qualification is Saturday.

SALEM 10, PLEASANTVILLE 10: Andrew May homered for the Rams.

Making a (large) dent

Pennsville’s Harris hits two homers, one of which bangs off the family truck, drives in seven during Eagles’ rout of Pitman

PENNSVILLE – Most of the time when a child comes home with a ding in the family car dad is none too pleased.

Pennsville’s Kylie Harris doesn’t even drive yet, but she put a dent in her step-dad’s big ol’ truck Tuesday night and nobody seemed too upset about it.

Harris led off the Eagles’ first inning by parking a homer off the roof of her stepdad’s 2014 Dodge Ram that was parked just beyond the left-field fence at Watson Field, leaving a half-dollar sized welt that might could be explained away to some unsuspecting insurance man as hail damage. It was one of two homers the sophomore catcher hit in a career-best seven-RBI game in the Eagles’ 18-0 rout of Pitman.

“I’ve never seen him happier,” Harris said. “I didn’t know it was headed for the truck; I knew it was out though. I could tell that one right off the bat. It was a good feeling when I saw it hit the truck. As soon as I saw him come out the truck with his hands up it made me smile. I can’t wait to get out there and see it.”

Ironically, the shot might have caught her mom’s car in the windshield had she not moved it moments earlier to give stepdad a place to park.

Harris’ second homer – a three-run shot in the third inning to make it 18-0 – almost got another truck, but landed between two vehicles parked just beyond an access trail.

“I was like, ‘Dang, two?’” Harris said. “I don’t know that (other) truck so I’d have felt a little bad.”

Pennsville coach Beth Jackson said the first homer “brought a calm over everybody” after plenty of uncertainty in the run-up to the game. It was the Eagles’ Senior Night, but the rainy weather put a damper on the way they were going to recognize the upperclassmen and even whether they’d play the game. As it was, the early innings were played in the rain.

The Eagles batted around in each of the first two innings. They got nine hits out of the first six spots in the lineup and eight of the nine spots scored at least two runs. Harris had three hits, Savannah Palverento had two and senior Bella Rappa had two in one inning.

Harris’ homers weren’t the only ones the Eagles hit. Rappa hit her first high school homer in the eight-run second inning. She hit her first homer on any level last summer playing for the Pennsville LL Senior Softball World Series team.

“This one is more cooler just because it’s Senior Night,” Rappa said. “Just to watch their center fielder do this (turn and watch it go out) was really cool.”

While the Eagles’ hitters were having a field day, Palverento continued to literally be unhittable in the circle. She pitched the first three innings without allowing a hit – for the third consecutive game — extending her streak of hitless innings over her last four games to 12 1/3.

She did issue three one-out walks – one in each inning – but they never became a threat.

“I feel like this year I’ve been given more opportunities to pitch more and with more game time and reps at practice it’s just helped me become more consistent,” Palverento said. “The most impressive part is that I’m not even primarily a pitcher. I’m more a fielder, probably third base or outfield, but I’ve been used as a pitcher because our pitching staff is kind of low, so I feel like this stepping up is what’s impressing me the most.

“I don’t like to boast, but I’ve been feeling pretty good and hopefully I can continue this little streak towards next game against Clayton.”

She probably could have finished it and maybe recorded a third straight run-rule no-hitter, but because it was Senior Night senior Sierra Stultz came on to pitch the fourth. The Panthers got their only hit of the game off her, a two-out double that went nowhere.

“I just think she’s getting better,” Jackson said of Palverento. “I don’t know exactly when she started (pitching), but she hasn’t been pitching her whole life, so every single game she’s getting better. She threw a changeup for a strike today and we’ve been working with her to get comfortable with that. She’s put the work in and really come a long way.”

OVERBROOK 4, SCHALICK 3: Cecelia Mitchell singled home the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to cap the Rams’ two-run rally. They scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly.

The Cougars built a 3-0 lead with single runs in the first (Cloe Elliott’s sacrifice fly), third and fifth (Cayla Sbrana’s RBI single). The Rams closed the game with single runs in the fifth and sixth.

Taylor Sparks and Lucianna Virga had two hits each for Schalick.

The win keeps Overbrook mathematically alive for a share of the division title with Woodstown, although Woodstown beat the Rams twice during the season.

WOODSTOWN 5, GLASSBORO 0: Tulana Mingin went 4-for-4 to set the program’s all-time hits record (132) and Liv Boultinghouse spun a four-hit shutout with eight strikeouts. Mingin broke the record with a slap double in the fifth inning. The Wolverines won their 26th straight Tri-County division game and clinched at least a share of the Diamond Division title.

The Wolverines are two games up on Overbrook in the loss column with two to play and have won both games with Overbrook during the season.

On the cover: Pennsville catcher Kylie Harris’ stepdad Jesse Brenneis (R) points to the spot on the roof of his truck where Kylie’ first homer of the game landed in the first inning Tuesday night.

PENNS GROVE – Everyone knows the surest way to jinx a no-hitter is to talk about a no-hitter while a no-hitter is going on.

Penns Grove freshman Dylan Hyatt was cruising along with a no-no two outs into the third inning Monday against LEAP Academy. No sooner had somebody around the dugout slipped and said something about the gem then – BOOM – it was gone.

Hyatt gave up a solid double to Dwayne Perez and coach Chuck Weigle went to get him, not for any punishment but to save him to pitch later in what is a big week for the Red Devils’ playoff hopes. Luckily, they had a big lead at the time and went on to win 13-3 in five innings.

Hyatt threw 49 pitches, setting him up to be able to pitch against LEAP again Wednesday at Rutgers Camden. He struck out five and didn’t walk any, but hit three. He faced three hitters in the first thanks to a pickoff, walked the leadoff man in the second and then struck out the next three.

“I pulled him right after he gave up the hit to save his arm for the rest of the week,” Weigle said. “He’s got potential to be good., the potential’s there. He’s one of the better arms that I’ve seen as a freshman coming through this school in the past few years.”

It’s a big win for the Red Devils (3-12) to start a big week. They have eyes on a South Jersey Group I playoff spot and they’re currently No. 17 in power points – 11 behind cutline-riding Clayton – with three games to play before Saturday’s cutoff date: Group 3 Camden Eastside (2-6), LEAP (1-11) and Wildwood (10-8).

Their playoff push took a hit when they lost Friday’s game with Clayton to weather, but they have an opportunity to make a move this week. Clayton has three road games left before the cutoff at Wildwood, (10-8), Pennsville (13-7) and Glassboro (5-11).

Understandably, the Red Devils will be doing “a lot” (with emphasis) of scoreboard watching over the next four days.

They haven’t been in the playoffs since 2021.

“It would be awesome for these guys to make it,” Weigle said. “The last few seniors, get them another game in before they graduate, and for the handful of freshmen that we have, I think that’d be a great experience; get them in there, get them playing (and) impacting them wanting to come back and play.”

In addition to his pitching, Wyatt went 2-for-2 with two RBIs. Chase Wills, the projected starter in Thursday’s game with Wildwood, went 3-for-3 with four RBIs. Ethan Brooks had two doubles and two RBIs and Elijah Crespo had a triple and drew three walks.

PENNSVILLE 9, SALEM 1: Peyton O’Brien went 3-for-3 with three RBIs and four Pennsville pitchers combined to hold the Rams to four hits. Starting pitcher Jacob Grant also had three hits for the Eagles, which Chase Burchfield, the fourth of the Pennsville pitchers, drove in a pair of runs.

Chase Davis had three hits for Salem and drove in the Rams’ only run.

The Eagles (13-7, 5-0) travel to Pitman (16-5, 6-1) Tuesday for a game that should decide the Tri-County Classic Division title. Pennsville won the earlier meeting 11-1.

CUMBERLAND 2, SCHALICK 0: The Colts pushed across runs in the first and fifth innings and two pitchers kept the Cougars off the scoreboard on four hits.

Josh Bondine drove home both of the Colts’ runs, the first with a bases-loaded walk and the second on a two-out single. Kameron Fiorani scored both runs.

The Cougars (10-9) threatened a couple times in the game, but couldn’t get the timely hit. J.T. Fleming opened the game with a double, but was stranded after two hard line-outs to short and a fly to left. They also had runners in scoring position in the third and seventh.

PENNSVILLE 19, SALEM 0: Savannah Palverento homered and pitched a four-inning no-hitter, coming within a full-count walk with one out in the third inning of a perfect game. She threw 47 pitches, 30 for strikes.

It was Palverento’s second straight no-hitter, having blanked Wildwood over five innings in her last start. She has not allowed a hit in her last 9 1/3 innings.

“Savannah has done a great job working the last two games,” Eagles coach Beth Jackson said. “She had one at-bat get away from her tonight and walked the girl, otherwise she’d have had a perfect game. She’s been working hard to improve her pitching game; she just started a couple years ago.”

Her homer was an inside-the-parker that scored three runs in the Eagles’ nine-run second inning.

Avery Watson had two hits and three RBIs; Cara Hoyt drove in three runs; Reagan Wariwanchik and Bella Farina had two hits apiece and Kylie Harris has two hits and two RBIs.

CINNAMINSON 2, WOODSTOWN 1: Kayla Meenan raced home from third on an infield grounder with one out in the bottom of the tenth to decide the game. Meenan was placed at second base as the ghost runner, was sacrificed to third and came home on Delaney Kroll’s grounder to third.

The Wolverines (10-7) loaded the bases with none out in the top of the tenth, but couldn’t get them home as the Pirates framed two strikeouts around a force out at the plate.

Cinnaminson (16-7) scored an unearned run in the fourth inning and the Wolverines tied it in the sixth when Tulana Mingin came around on Ellie Wygand’s sacrifice.

ATLANTIC TECH 6, SCHALICK 3: The Cougars took an early lead with three runs in the third inning, but the Redhawks scored five over the last three innings to get the win.

Schalick senior Taylor Sparks picked up her 100th career hit in the game with a single in the fourth inning. She is now 100-for-218 for her four-year career (.459). Abby Willoughby, Ally Shrimp, Cloe Elliott, Rachael Irizarry and Lucianna Virga also had hits for the Cougars.

ELMER – Whoever said pitchers aren’t supposed to hit or be able to hit? In an era where specialization and designated players are the norm, Woodstown’s Grace White is making it tough to keep the bat out of her hands and out of the lineup.

White, a senior pitcher, came up in the sixth inning Thursday night and delivered the first extra-base hit of her career, a lead-off double to set up an insurance run in the Wolverines’ 4-2 win over Schalick to claim the first Elmer Classic Cup presented by the Elmer Little League.

“She’s been tearing it up,” Woodstown coach Dave Wildermuth said. “And I put her in the 5-hole tonight because she’s been hitting the ball. I didn’t put her there just to (fill a spot).”

The Wolverines were holding a slim 3-2 lead when White came up in the sixth and doubled into left field. Courtesy runner Talia Guardascione moved to third on Alyssa Baber’s groundout and scored the insurance run on Hannah Hitchner’s grounder to short.

The day before White delivered a pinch single to start the Wolverines’ seventh-inning rally against Overbrook and the day before that she had two RBIs against Gloucester Catholic. Since April 15 she is 8-for-20 with four RBIs. She had only one at-bat and two plate appearances (both last year) the previous two seasons combined.

“I haven’t really gotten a chance (to hit) before because they usually do a designated hitter for me, but in practice I’ve been hitting the ball really good, so he gave me a chance,” White said.

What White is better known for, of course, is pitching. On this night she limited the Cougars to two singles and denied Schalick senior Taylor Sparks getting her 100th career hit in three plate appearances.

The two runs Schalick did score came in the fourth when White lost a little of her rhythm and walked the first two batters of the inning. They came in to score on Cayla Sbrana’s two-run single to right that tied the game 2-2. It was the Cougars’ first hit of the game.

It was just a minor hiccup. White retired nine of the first 10 batters she faced and 10 of the last 11. Since returning from the Senior Class Trip last weekend, a rested White has posted three wins in three days, giving up nine hits, three runs and striking out 20 in 15 2/3 innings. The Wolverines play Salem Friday.

“I think it was a really good break from not just softball, but like school and to get away in general,” White said. “I was pitching a lot before that and I think it was just a really good break to come out and get all these wins.”

The Wolverines took a 2-0 lead in the third on Cara Delia’s RBI single and Kayla Brown’s infield out. Delia broke the 2-2 tie with a slow roller back to the pitcher with Tulana Mingin at third.

Mingin had three hits, leaving her with 128 for her career, four shy of the school record. Delia learned a long time ago you don’t have to hit it hard or far to get the run home when Mingin’s on base.

“She’s great, everything to Tulana, she always comes up big,” Delia said. “I know when she gets on base at the beginning of the inning we’re going to score. She’s such a proponent for our team. It’s so great to see her on second base when I come up. It gives me so much confidence when I come up to the plate.

“I just know I’ve got to make contact with Tulana on, especially with less than two outs. She’s always out there, she’s doing her job. Today she got two doubles, basically, just on her smart baserunning, and that’s just so helpful. When we get up there to the plate and I can see her out there, I just know I’m about to hit it hopefully and if I do she’s going to score no matter what.”

Delia grew up playing on the Elmer LL softball fields, so the win was extra special to her. She hit her first varsity home there as a sophomore against Schalick.

“It was like my practice field as a kid, so it’s very nostalgic to be here and it was sad for tonight to be the last time I’m ever going to play on the field,” she said. “That where I feel like my career started. That’s where I got my confidence. The feeling coming to this field every time is, like, stressful, but also I have such good memories.

“I’m happy we came out on top tonight because I can finish my career with a happy memory. I just love being here. It’s the best game of the year, I would say.”

The win moved the Wolverines a step closer to clinching the Tri-County Diamond Division title. It kept them undefeated in division, two games up on Overbrook and three on Schalick in the loss column. All they have left in division play is three games against the two weakest teams.

PENNSVILLE 17, WILDWOOD 2: Bella Farina hit another home run, Lilly Birney went 3-for-4 with four RBIs and Savannah Palverento pitched a five-inning no-hitter with eight strikeouts as the Eagles (12-4) won their ninth in a row.

Farina’s homer, her seventh of the year, was a three-run shot that highlighted the Eagles’ 11-run second inning. It also included two-run singles by Birney and Mary Montagna and Sarah Brumbaugh had a two-run double. The Eagles have scored 12 runs or more in seven games of their current winning streak.

CLAYTON 18, SALEM 2: Sophia Petsch went 5-for-5 with three RBIs and spun a five-inning complete game for the Clippers. Julliana Love extended her hitting streak to six games with one of the Rams’ three hits and RBI. Alexandrea Matias and Gianna Pelura had Salem’s other hits.

GOLF
WOODSTOWN 156, TIMBER CREEK 176: Senior Kyle Brainard shot a 3-under-par 33 with an eagle and two birdies at Town & Country Golf Links to lead the Wolverines. Brainard eagled No. 3 and birdied 8 and 9. Jacob Schermerhorn and Joey Olbrich both shot 41.

PENNSVILLE 151, SALEM TECH 169, CLAYTON 185: Dylan Wallen and Jacob Isaac shot 34 and 35, respectively, and the Eagles posted three rounds in the 30s to win the tri-match at . Mason Griffith was Salem Tech’s low man (36). to lead the Eagles.

DEPTFORD 168, SCHALICK 170: Julian Boyer shot 2-under 33 with three birdies at Pitman CC to give Deptford a cushion against the South Jersey Group I champs. Ryan Johnson posted Schalick’s low score (40).

Raising the trophy

ELMER – As soon as sophomore catcher Ty Coblentz squeezed the slow-motion called third strike for the final out of the game, the Woodstown players enthusiastically sprinted off the diamond looking for two things.

Tuna subs (don’t ask, it’s a player thing) and a trophy.

For the first time in the history of the rivalry, the Elmer Little League is presenting the winner of the Woodstown-Schalick baseball and softball games played in their complex with a traveling trophy – the Elmer Classic Cup – to display in their school.

For the next year, the four-tiered award will sit in the Wolverines’ trophy case after they humbled their rivals 12-4 Thursday night to sweep the regular-season series and take sole possession of first place in the Tri-County Conference Diamond Division

“It just always feels good to beat Schalick, they’re a rival for us,” centerfielder Blake Bialecki said. “We saw the trophy before the game. It’s big.”

The scores of each game will be engraved around the trophy for posterity. The games currently shown on the trophy go back to 2012, but they’ve been playing the series a lot longer.

Woodstown coach Marc DeCastro isn’t so much about trophies as much as he is what this one represents. It’s his hope the excitement created by the raising of his trophy will carry over going forward leading to raising a much bigger prize down the road.

“I like when they get excited, it doesn’t matter to me,” DeCastro said. “What I care about, what I am hoping, is that this experience they can replicate. If they can treat every game the way that they treat this game and the way they stayed focused throughout it, if that comes from this, then I’m super happy. If I take a trophy home and then I lose tomorrow I don’t really care.”

After being no-hit the day before, the Wolverines’ bats came to life to the tune of eight hits and many were timely. They reached Schalick ace Luke Pokrovsky for four runs in the third inning, then scored in every inning thereafter.

Brent Williams broke the scoreless tie with a two-run single in the third. Bialecki had two hits and three RBIs. Andrew Pedrick reached base all five times he came to the plate, including his 95th career hit in the third inning. Jack Knorr had two hits and Rocco String had two RBIs.

“Getting no-hit is just a terrible feeling and we knew we had to bounce back from that,” Bialecki said. “We knew we had to be better and we had to have better attitudes and better approaches and we definitely did that today. We need to build off this.”

“Any time you beat a kid who is as good as (Pokrovsky) it’s a big deal,” DeCastro said. “We were trying to change some of the things that we’ve seen over the last couple days and alter the way that we approach the game, so I’m happy to see that positive thing. “

Bialecki, one of the many players on both teams who grew up playing on the Elmer LL fields, squeezed in the third run of the fourth inning, had an RBI single in the sixth and a sacrifice fly in the seventh.

“Winning districts over there was probably one of the best memories of my life and this just adds to it,” Bialecki said, pointing to the Little League diamonds across the way.

The Cougars (10-8) threatened in the fourth, loading the bases and bringing the go-ahead run to the plate with two outs. But DeCastro brought in Thomas Boyles and the Boyles put out the fire against the only batter he faced. The Wolverines used six pitchers in the game.

Schalick did score three in the fifth to make it 6-4. Ricky Watt and Jake Siedlecki had RBI doubles and Pokrovsky stole home. But the Wolverines (10-8) answered with two in the sixth and broke it open with four in the seventh on only one hit – Jack Holladay’s bunt single.

CLEARVIEW 6, PENNSVILLE 5: The Pioneers pushed two unearned runs across in the bottom of the sixth after Pennsville tied the game with four in the top of the inning and then turned back another Pennsville threat in the seventh.

Chase Burchfield and Cohen Petrutz both had two-run singles in the sixth as the Eagles erased a 4-0 deficit to tie the game. In the seventh, Burchfield doubled home Logan Streitz with two outs to make it 6-5, but the Eagles (12-7) ran out of outs before they could bring the tying run home.

Burchfield had two hits and three RBIs. Streitz had two hits and Petrutz had two RBIs.
