Championship Season On Horizon For Cherry Hill West Baseball Team
The conclusion of the Diamond Classic is scheduled for this weekend, followed by the beginning of the South Jersey Group 3 tournament.
CHERRY HILL, NJ — The Cherry Hill High School West baseball team is looking at a busy few days. Following one final regular season game against Washington Township at home on Friday, the Lions will hit the road in hopes of winning a championship.
Up first for Cherry Hill West is a meeting with Shawnee in the quarterfinals of the 44th annual Joe Hartmann Diamond Classic on Saturday. A win in that game would mean an appearance in the semifinals and possibly the finals on Sunday.
Whether or not the Lions win South Jersey’s unofficial baseball championship, the team will begin its quest for a state sanctioned title the very next day.
