Non-league
HARRY S TRUMAN 6, CALVARY CHRISTIAN 4
With the Tigers trailing by one in the bottom of the seventh, Veronica Slaton ripped a two-run double to propel the Tigers to the dramatic come-from-behind walk-off win in Monday’s non-league contest.
“They were excited, especially to start off a four-game week,” Truman coach Rick Palmer said.
Also coming up big for the Tigers was Emily Davis, who was 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored. Her double led off the three-run fifth inning. Kaitlyn ‘Smiles’ Erhard was 2-for-4 with a double and two stolen bases. Ella Lavertu had one hit, drew a walk and had two stolen bases.
Jessica Adams struck out 10 in the complete game win in the circle for the Tigers.
Harry S Truman (2-7, 0-7 SOL) will host Central Bucks East on Tuesday.

ARCHBISHOP RYAN 11, COUNCIL ROCK NORTH 1 (5 innings)
The Indians struggled to get their game untracked at the plate and in the field. The end result was a lopsided loss in an abbreviated contest that saw the game halted for the mercy rule after five innings.
“We played about as sloppy as sloppy can get today,” Rock North coach Susan Yee said. “We let mistakes compound each other, we didn’t back up our pitchers, and we stranded nine runners on base in five innings.
“Our team is a dramatically better team than we showed today, and hopefully we will rebound and play the way we know how as we get back on the hunt for a district one playoff spot.”
Ryan all but put the game out of reach with a seven-run second inning that included four hits as well as several Rock North miscues.”
Molly Sheehy’s solo home run in the fourth accounted for Rock North’s only run.
“One bright spot today: we have been preaching to the girls that they need to hit line drives because that is what gets base hits and scores runs,” Yee said. “Well, Molly Sheehy hit about as perfect of a line drive as you can get. She smoked a ball to dead centerfield that never went any higher than about 10 feet in the air and drilled the top of the centerfield fence as it bounced over for a homerun. You can’t hit a ball any more solidly than she hit that one. She absolutely got all of it.”
Council Rock North (6-5, 3-4 SOL) will travel to North Penn for Tuesday’s crossover game.
