This week could be really messy. Late Sunday evening the forecast predicated at least four days of rain this week. That’s not good news, especially for Cedar Cliff and Red Land. The West Shore rivals had their game at Commerce Bank Park postponed from Saturday to Sunday when it was again postponed, this time to Tuesday at Red Land’s Brandt Cook Field at 4 p.m.
So what happens if games involving those teams get rained out Monday? Both are on the road with Cedar Cliff at Central Dauphin East and Red Land at Chambersburg. The logical step is to move the game to Tuesday, but that date is already booked. Stay tuned. This week could fun.
Mechanicsburg at Bishop McDevitt, Monday, 4 – These two enter this matchup two games out of first place in the Mid-Penn Keystone Division. It’s safe to say the loser here can stop dreaming of a division title and focus on winning a district playoff berth.
Red Land at Chambersburg, Monday, 5 – This one might decide the Mid-Penn Commonwealth champion. Both come in at 7-1 in the division and hold a three-game lead over Central Dauphin. The Trojans took the first game, 10-7. Red Land planned to throw Kyle Otstot on Sunday and K.C. Beshore on Monday. It’ll be interesting to see if coach Kyle Wagner adjusts his rotation.
Cedar Cliff at Red Land, Tuesday, 4 – Maybe the third time will be the charm. Only time will tell if this game will be played today or if further changes will be made depending on Monday’s weather. Whenever these two get together, make sure to check it out. Don’t forget, Red Land swept Cedar Cliff a season ago.
Central Dauphin at Red Land, Wednesday, 4 – Tired of hearing about Red Land? If the Patriots stay hot, there’ll be a lot more coming about them. Crafty left-hander Andrew Hunt should be on the mound for Red Land as the team tries to sweep Central Dauphin for the second year in a row.
Boiling Springs at Camp Hill, Friday, 4 – It’s unlikely either team will catch front-running Greencastle-Antrim but each team must keep winning to stay in district playoff contention. Regardless how far back in the division race these two are, this game should be entertaining. It always is.
Cumberland Valley vs. South Western at Hershey Tournament, Saturday, 12:30 – CV has three games this week before it hits Derry Twp . The Eagles will be expected to beat Carlisle and Central Dauphin East. A win over Chambersburg on Thursday will catapult the team into this tournament as it tries to defend its title. Plus, a win or two here will wrap up a district title berth. CV will play at 3:45 p.m. in the consolation if it loses or at 6:30 in the final if it beats the Mustangs.
