BOOTHWYN, PA- Someone get the brooms out, Chichester just swept the season series against Interboro.

Chichester had a little bit of everything from both sides of the ball. Pitching and hitting were both on full display, as Chichester pitching only allowed three hits and struck out eight.

Chichester scored first in the bottom of the first, after a leadoff walk from Cole Sanford, who then swiped second. Zach Murray singled to drive him in, and advanced to second on the throw making it 1-0. Alex Kester then doubled to double Chichester’s lead making it 2-0.

In the top of the second, the Bucs tied it right back up. With the bases loaded, Mike McLaughlin singled to drive in two and tie it right back up at 2-2.

McLaughlin then threw a big shutdown inning in the bottom of the second to keep it tied after two.

In the top of the third, Gavin Derrickson came in for Julian Sparks, who threw two innings and allowed two runs, and set down the Bucs 1-2-3 to set up Chi’s offense to take the lead.

In the bottom of the third with a runner on second and one out, Trevor Goschler singled to drive in the go-ahead run, putting Chi up 3-2.

The fourth is where the Eagles really took flight.

With two outs and a man on second, Kester drove in his second run of the day to make the lead 4-2. Evan Valentine then reached on an error, setting up two men on for Logan Werley, who doubled to make the lead 6-2. Goschler then drove in Werley to tally his second knock and run batted in of the day, making it a sizable 7-2 lead for Chichester.

Chichester extended the lead even more in the fifth thanks to a sac fly from Zach Murray, his second RBI of the day, and Werley who drove in his third run of the afternoon. It was 9-2 Chichester after five.

Derrickson finished the game in relief for Chichester, with his final line being five innings of one hit ball, and six strikeouts while being credited with the win.

McLaughlin takes the loss for Interboro despite all five runs allowed being unearned.

Interboro falls to 7-3 in the Del Val, and will play Academy Park (3-6 in DV) at home on Thursday at 3:30.

Chichester claims their sixth straight Del Val title, and moves to an undefeated 10-0 season in the Del Val. As their season winds down, they have two in-conference games remaining. Their next game will be an out of conference game at home on Thursday against Holy Ghost Prep (7-7) at 4:00.

Interboro is hanging on to that last PIAA 4A spot, just over Bishop Shanahan. They’ll need to finish strong to hang on. Chichester has clinched a spot in the playoffs, and will likely grab one of four PIAA 5A first round byes.
