Chambersburg (11-3, 6-3 MPC) rapped out 16 hits, which included home runs from Karley Skultety, Morgan Lehman and Samantha Paetow, and doubles by Paetow, Skultety and Bree Paetow.

For Skultety and Lehman, the HRs were their first of the season, while Paetow has hit 4 dingers in her last 5 games.

"We started a little slow today, but heated up pretty quickly," Chambersburg coach Chris Skultety said. "It was another long trip and we took care of business."

Sam Paetow was 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs, Bree Paetow was 3-for-4 with 2 runs batted in, and Skultety and Lehman each had 2 hits and a pair of runs knocked in. Bree Paetow stole two bases, giving her 50 in less than 2 years.

"She's on a great pace to swipe 100 before her career here is over," coach Skultety said.

Kori Leedy (9-2) pitched the first 4 innings to get the win, allowing 3 hits and striking out 3. Saleen Null threw a hitless fifth.

Skultety said, "The girls continue to have great energy and are a fun group to be around. I hope we get these next six games in, because it's important for us to get ready for the playoffs."
