Delran is on an 11-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Robbinsville is on a four-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Bears will host the Ravens at 10:00 a.m. on Friday. Delran is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.5 runs per game this season.

On Thursday, Delran came up short against Northern Burlington and fell 9-5. The Bears haven't had much luck with the Greyhounds recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.

Delran got a good showing from Mary Masterson, who tossed three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Masterson has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Elaina Faux was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Gemma DeJoseph, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.

Meanwhile, Robbinsville's rock-solid pitchers showed up for the team's third consecutive shutout on Thursday. They never let Princeton get on the board and left with a 13-0 victory. That 13 run margin sets a new team best for the Ravens this season.

Lexi Lopez was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out nine over four innings pitched. Lopez was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 4-for-4 with three doubles and one RBI. Those three doubles gave her a new career-high.

Those two doubles gave Murphy a new career-high. Aubrey Sagar was another key player, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with two RBI and one run.

Robbinsville has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Delran, their loss dropped their record down to 9-5.
