The Cherry Hill West Lions will challenge the East Lake Eagles at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday.
Cherry Hill West had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell 6-2 to Geneva on Friday.
Nadya Devenny made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in doubles (two).
Meanwhile, East Lake waltzed into their matchup on Thursday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They never let the Tornadoes get on the board and left with a 5-0 win.
Lucy Mondok was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out nine over 6.2 innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double. That double was her first of the season.
Mondok wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Anna Folger, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-4. Folger is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Another was Ali Sheffield, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.
East Lake hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most two strikeouts in three consecutive contests.
