Thursday, May 6, 2004 By Crystal Parker At the beginning of a season, there are some players who try to analyze which teams on their schedule looked like easy or difficult team to pick up the win. Most of the teams that have been put into either of those categories are a reflection on the number of times they compete each season. So when there's a team matched up in a non-league game, the best way to find out who will win is to play the scheduled seven innings of softball. Shawnee were playing host to the Lady Rams from Gloucester Catholic and they were not hospitable host. The Renegades continued to keep pace with the division leaders by recording a 4-0 decision. |

Thursday, May 6, 2004 By Susan Hall With the season winding down and the Lady Chiefs already securing a playoff position, their next mission if they would accept it would be to capture the Olympic Conference American Division title. In an interdivision competition against Triton, Cherokee would finally enjoy a comfortable lead giving starting pitcher Allison Twarowski plenty of support early on. That comfort level was enough for the entire Cherokee team to be rewarded with the 9-0 shutout victory. |

Tuesday, May 4, 2004 By Susan Hall For six full innings, neither team had an answer for scoring that elusive run. The Lady Irish from Camden Catholic was hosting their divisional rivals Eagles from Paul VI. This would be Camden Catholic’s third Olympic Conference National Division game and the Irish were looking to keep their divisional record clean from any losses. Paul VI threatened and scored during the top half of the seventh, but the Irish rallied in the bottom of the inning to pull out the 2-1 victory. |

Tuesday, May 4, 2004 By Jerome Michaels With the cutoff to make the playoffs approaching face, there are those teams playing with urgency and then there are those who just play. Eastern, already with a record to make the post season, did not panic when their early three run lead disappeared quickly. The Quakers from Moorestown had successful hit their way past Eastern and looked to have had the early lead. But a consistent offense from the Vikings allowed them to score in every inning but one to post a 9-6 win. |
