These two teams met earlier in the season with Haddon Township coming away with the victory against Haddon Heights. The second time around always helps a team to get use to the pitcher and team they are going up against.

Heights would hold an early lead, but the bats would come alive for Township as they stormed past the Lady Garnets by a 14-9 margin.

It seemed as if this game would never end with both opposing pitchers having their way through seven innings. Pennsville’s Jaime Carlson and Gloucester Catholic’s Brianne Tobin were able to maintain a scoreless tie up until the ninth inning when finally someone scored that illusive winning run. With Linda Hahn at third base and one out, Gloucester Catholic’s Desiree Wilson laid down a suicide squeeze bunt towards the mound. Hahn would slide in safely scoring the eventually game winning run. The Rams would tack on a few more runs to preserve their 4-0 victory.
