Games of the Week (April 25-30)

Chambersburg at Mechanicsburg, Monday, 4 -- Here's an interesting Mid-Penn crossover game between teams that were supposed to compete for their respective division titles. Chambersburg is well on its way to winning the Commonwealth while Mechanicsburg has some work to do in the Keystone. But, if they can knock off a team like Chambersburg, it's going to do wonders for the confidence of the Wildcats.

Big Spring at Northern, Tuesday, 4:30 -- The Bulldogs were awfully close to taking out Northern before falling, 1-0, the first time these two met. The Polar Bears are still cruising along with a perfect record in the Colonial. Don't be surprised if there's an upset -- Big Spring has the pitching to do it.

Chambersburg at Red Land, Wednesday, 4 -- With two games remaining against the front-running Trojans, Red Land can still win the division. But it's going to probably need to win out and receive some help if it doesn't want to share the title. Important home game here against big, bad Chambersburg.

Trinity at West Perry, Wednesday, 4:15 -- This one was postponed from last Wednesday. It's a rematch of West Perry's 15-0 rout back in March. Depending who Trinity coach Al Hobby sends to the mound, the result this time could be vastly different. Colin King and Dan Resavy, who took the loss to West Perry last month, are tough to beat. The same can be said about West Perry pitchers Jade Wilson, Jarrid Willette and Kurt Little.

Cedar Cliff at Carlisle, Thursday, 4 -- Both teams are mired in the middle of the Commonwealth and, to be quite honest, fighting for their postseasons lives. That makes this game huge in terms of the District 3 race. Whichever pitcher Carlisle coach Brett Livingston sends to the mound will have his hands full against a potent Cedar Cliff offense. The big question is, can Cedar Cliff's pitching hold down the Herd?

West Perry vs. Susquenita at Metro Bank Park, Harrisburg, Friday, 6:30 -- The first meeting between these rivals went to West Perry in 11 innings (above). Don't think for a minute that the Blackhawks don't remember that one. The rematch, being played at the home of the Harrisburg Senators, should be just as fun. Both teams are still in the running for the Capital Division crown.

Carlisle at Shippensburg, Saturday, 11 a.m. -- The last time these two teams met, Shippensburg exploded for 23 runs in a 20-run rout at George Bowen Field last year. Don't expect that to happen again. Shippensburg has posted a couple of nice wins -- the Greyhounds own victories over Greencastle-Antrim and East Pennsboro -- so this should be an interesting crossover affair.
