Games of the Week (May 3-8)

Carlisle at Central Dauphin, Monday, 4 -- With a 6-6 record as the calender flips to May, Carlisle (left) has a legitimate shot at the District 3-AAAA playoffs. The Thundering Herd needs to complete the sweep of a down Central Dauphin club to keep dreaming of postseason baseball.

Cedar Cliff at Chambersburg, Monday, 4:30 -- Colts rallied from an 8-2 deficit for a 12-8 win in the first encounter. A win by Cedar Cliff, which holds a three-game lead with four to play over Red Land, Chambersburg and Cumberland Valley in the Commonwealth Division, will make it hard for the Colts to not be division champions.

Boiling Springs at Camp Hill, Monday, 4 -- The Bubblers are finally back above .500 with an 8-7 record but they can't sleep against Camp Hill (3-10). The Lions have an outstanding coach in Brad Shover and nearly beat Boiling Springs the first time before falling in extra innings. Expect this one to be close.

Chambersburg at Cumberland Valley, Wednesday, 4:15 -- The Eagles should be sitting at 8-5 overall and 5-3 in the division entering this game. Depending what happens elsewhere this year, CV still has a shot at winning the Commonwealth. But the Eagles most likely have to win out, which means beating the defending District 3-AAAA champions.

West Perry at Susquenita, Thursday, 4:15 -- So far, these two Perry County rivals have split two games this spring. Susquenita seems to be going through a tough time and can't get on a roll. There were high expectations for the Blackhawks, who likely won't win the Colonial but need one more victory to guarantee themselves three straight appearances in the District 3-AAA postseason.

Cedar Cliff vs. Red Land at Sovereign Bank Stadium, Friday, 6:30 -- The last meeting went to Cedar Cliff, 14-4, in five innings. This time, Red Land ace Nick Chester awaits the Colts, who have only been completely shut down once this year. It's always fun when these two rivals get together and by this day, Cedar Cliff could be looking to clinch the Commonwealth Division title.
