Cherokee waltzed into their matchup on Thursday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They put the hurt on the Moorestown Quakers with a sharp 14-1 win. The Chiefs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five contests by six runs or more this season.

Cali Taylor made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in ten consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, Mollee Jacobus was incredible, going 3-for-5 with three runs, three RBI, and one double. Those three RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Kasey McNee, who went 2-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run.

Cherokee hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least five batters in three consecutive games.

Cherokee's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-4. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. As for Moorestown, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-12-1.

The future could be bright for both Cherokee and Moorestown: their next opponents haven't had the best luck recently. The Chiefs will look to extend Notre Dame's four-game losing streak when they meet at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Moorestown will try to hand Camden Catholic their fourth-straight loss when the two meet at 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
