Cherokee put another one in the bag on Saturday to keep their perfect season alive. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Bordentown Scotties an 8-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Chiefs, who have now won ten matches by seven runs or more so far this season.

The result came thanks to Brett Gable's shutout, as he gave up just four hits and racked up seven Ks. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Cherokee got a big performance out of Mason Kelleher, who went 2-for-4 with two doubles and one RBI. That's the most doubles Kelleher has posted over his last four contests. The team also got some help courtesy of Brett Chiesa, who went 1-for-3 with one triple and one RBI.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Cherokee kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in eight consecutive games.

Cherokee's win was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 18-0. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Bordentown, their loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 11-8.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Cherokee will square off against Lenape at 3:45 p.m. on Monday. The Indians will roll in looking for their fifth straight win, something the Chiefs surely won't give up without a fight. As for Bordentown, they will look to defend their home field on Wednesday against Hamilton at 6:30 p.m.
