Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Kingsway walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Cherry Hill East Cougars with a sharp 14-2 win on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Dragons, who have now won 11 games by six runs or more so far this season.
Killian McCaffrey looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and only one walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Kyle Shields was a standout: he went a perfect 2-for-2 with four RBI, one stolen base, and one run. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April. AJ Ward was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double.
Kingsway was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .450. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .320 or higher in three consecutive matchups.
Kingsway is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-6-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.1 runs over those games. As for Cherry Hill East, their defeat dropped their record down to 12-11-2.
Looking ahead, Kingsway will face off against Cherokee on Tuesday. The Chiefs' pitching crew has only allowed two runs per game this season, so the Dragons' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Cherry Hill East does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
