Friday, May 14, 2004 By Susan Hall Both of these teams in today's Colonial Conference softball game had achieved their first goal of the season and that was to play above average softball to qualify for the playoffs. For Haddon Heights and Audubon that goal had been achieved. For Audubon, every win counts when trying to keep pace with Haddonfield and Sterling for the conference title. Audubon did not waste anytime putting runs on their side of the scoreboard. Giving starting pitcher Kiersten Hughes enough runs to pick up the victory early, Audubon cruised to a 6-0 win over Haddon Heights. |

Friday, May 14, 2004 By Jerome Michaels It was one of those games that no lead seemed to be safe. Both teams sent a total of twenty-six crossing the plate that indicated the offense was clicking on all cylinders. Trying to do all that he could, pitcher Calvin Lewis survived Penns Grove 17-9 win over Wildwood with not just his pitching arm. Lewis stepped up at the plate during the bottom of the fifth inning and delivered a grand slam to push the Red Devils ahead for good. |

Tuesday, May 11, 2004 By Crystal Parker It has been a season of surprises for the softball team from Highland. Well maybe it's not that much of a shock to the players on the team. After failing to qualify for last year's playoffs and losing key players due to graduation, not many believed that this year the Lady Tartans would be among the leaders in a very competitive Tri-County Conference Royal Division. Starting pitchers Randi Cifelli and today's winner Megan Bianchini has been holding it down on the mound recording victory after victory. Highland's 7-0 win over Deptford was their ninth win in a row. |

Monday, May 10, 2004 By Jerome Michaels It's the reason why there's seven innings to a game, and that reason was quite evident Monday afternoon at Woodbury. In a Colonial Conference baseball game, the Gators from Gateway traveled to compete against the Thundering Herd. Having one of those seasons that they would like to play over, Woodbury provided those who were in attendance with a never-say-die play to the last at bat win. Needing two runs to send this game into overtime was never in the minds of the runners on base when Dirk Ranck delivered the hit that gave Woodbury the 6-5 victory. |

Monday, May 10, 2004 By Crystal Parker Hanging around after Gloucester had just handed Schalick its first loss of the season, you could help to hear the subject of walking Tina Londino instead of pitching to her.

Schalick had started the season winning thirteen games in a row looking for one more against the Lions. Londino stepped up to the plate and delivered the only RBI of the game with a single up the middle. |
