With a playoff win on the line, Johnson rose to the challenge on Friday. They had just enough and edged out the Delran Bears 5-4. Five seems to be a good number for the Crusaders as the team scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Johnson has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 15 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.1 runs on average over those games. As for Delran, the defeat snapped their winning streak at eight games and leaves them with a 21-9 record.
Looking ahead, Johnson will take on Gloucester City on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Crusaders 1.9, the Lions 3.3) so any runs scored will be well earned. Delran does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
