Burlington County Scholastic League

Jordan Gilligo, Northern Burlington. The senior twirled a two-hitter with one walk and six strikeouts as the Greyhounds silenced Steinert, 3-0, on April 2. He helped his own cause with a solo homer – his first at the high school level.

Chris Pignatelli, Cinnaminson. The sophomore collected six hits, including a pair of doubles, and five RBIs as the Pirates picked up wins over Holy Cross Prep Academy and Florence along with a loss to Delran. Pignatelli went 4-for-4 with two RBIs against the Lancers and had three more RBIs against the Flashes.

Matt Prado, Pennsauken. The junior went 4-for-6 with six walks and seven runs scored as the Indians went 2-1 for the week. The hot stretch raised Prado’s batting average to .310 and he shares the team-leading 20 runs scored with Kelwin Batista and Jonauris De Leon.

Josh Rivera, Doane Academy. The sophomore went 6-for-9 with six RBIs as Doane Academy remained undefeated with three more wins last week. Rivera has knocks in six of his last seven games, raising his batting average to .444 with 16 RBIs and 15 runs scored.

Milestone: Pennsauken’s Kelwin Batista fanned 11 batters, including the 200th of his career, during Friday’s game against Northern Burlington. The senior southpaw has struck out 11 in back-to-back games and has four double-digit K performances this season.

Colonial Conference

Ben Alexander, Haddon Heights. The junior went 3-for-5 with a triple, three runs scored and two RBIs as the Garnets knocked off West Deptford and Collingswood. Alexander is batting .361 with 17 RBIs, which is tied for the team lead with Cole Simon.
