Chambersburg (5-2, 3-2 MPC) won its fourth straight game. Six of the Trojans’ 15 hits were doubles.
“Although the score looks like we had a really good day, I thought we played a little selfish at times and didn’t play with a lot of energy early,” Chambersburg coach Chris Skultety said. “We did some good things, but played down to our competition a bit. We did not play to our level.”
Trojan leadoff batter Bree Paetow had 4 hits in 6 at-bats, scored 3 runs and drove in 5. Karley Skultety was 2-for-5 with 3 runs batted in.
Also for Chambersburg, Erissa Varner was 2-for-2 with an RBI, and Malia Cramer and Sanay Jones each went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs.
In the pitching department, Kori Leedy went the first 3 innings to get the win, allowing 2 hits and a run. Issie Slimmer pitched 2 innings and allowed an unearned run and Jones finished up with 2 scoreless innings against the Colts (0-8, 0-3 MPC).
Skultety said, “We should be happy with a win, but we aren’t satisfied with how we played overall. But our baserunning was excellent and we will take that as a positive.”
