Lugo struck out 16 batters and collected three

hits himself as Burlington stopped Wildwood 5-0. Lugo ' struck out the side in- the f first and fourth innings for the top-seeded Burlington club. Wildwood managed'' just two hits off Lugo. IT WAS A BATTLE of top pitchers last week in girls softball as Cumberland's Kelli Maloney and Ocean City's Sondra Reeves hooked up. Then the smoke cleared from the fastballs.

Reeves recorded 12 strike outs and Lisa Crompton provided the offensive punch. When it rains it pours. That is what happened in Wildwood when the Warriors and Buena met. In a game marred by rain storms, Buena scored five

i y/imes in the sixth inning to > / pick up a 14-12 win. Walks hurt Wildwood as four of • \ the runs in the pivital sixth i . inning received free ^ passes. Sophomore Michelle i McKeon drove in three runs with a bases-loaded double to highlight a 6-3 win for Lower Cape May over Absegami. Betsey Craig's RBI single preceeded McKeon 's shot. KELLY GALLAGHER knocked in three runs and Abby Williams went three-for-three but it wasn't enough as Wildwood Catholic lost to Sacred Heart 10-6. The game was shortened to six innings by rain with Heart scoring five times in the fifth to secure the margin of victory. Vickie Sorrentino is

undefeated as a pitcher in softball this year and that's no big deal unless you play for Middle Township. The Panthers faced Sorrentino last week and came up empty losing 7-0. Middle was knocked out of Group II play with the loss. ANOTHER TEAM eliminated from playoff action recently was the Ocean City tennis team. The Red Raiders fell to Cinnaminson by a 4-1 count.

Eddie McLain and John Young were the winners for Wildwood Catholic. St. Augustine clinched the Cape Atlantic League II golf title last week with a 186-195 win over Middle Township. Jeff Divico was the low man for the Panthers with a 46. The Hermits finished the season with a perfect 15 and 0 record. Remarks: In a recent conversation with a friend, we were trying to figure out how the Baltimore Orioles or Toronto Blue Jays can catch the Detroit Tigers. „We couldn't think of one besides maybe a few injuries to a few key players. Can you lock up a division race in May? The Phoenix Suns sure helped out the Boston Celtics in the N B A. playoffs. By taking the Lakers to six games, the Suns finally lost to a tired and traveled Los Angeles team. Boston should have an easier time than I first thought.
