HAMMONTON—Despite being
the defending champion, the St. Joseph
softball team entered last weekend’s
Hammonton Invitational Softball
Tournament as an underdog, as many local
experts considered the Wildcats’ success
more the result of a weak schedule than
of their excellence on the field.

HAMMONTON—Seeking just
its second-ever Blue Devil Invitational
Tournament title, host Hammonton High
School had to settle for third place, as
the Blue Devils lost to Holy Cross
before downing Overbrook in the
consolation game.
Hammonton let one get away in the
opener, as six errors and some
baserunning miscues led to a 6-5 loss.

HAMMONTON—Missed
opportunities cost Hammonton High
School’s softball team a chance to
advance in the 27th Annual Hammonton
Invitational Softball Tournament last
week, as the host school dropped a 5-3
decision to Florence.
Hammonton led 3-0 before Florence
rallied for four fifth inning runs to
pull out the win.
“Baserunning mistakes and missed
opportunities,” Hammonton coach Stacy
Jones said.
“We didn’t take advantage of our scoring
opportunities.”
