Softball Game Preview: Keystone Panthers vs. Karns City Gremlins

Keystone is 0-6 against Karns City since March of 2017 but things could change on Thursday. The Panthers will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Gremlins at 4:00 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.

Keystone will bounce into Thursday's match after beating Union/Allegheny-Clarion Valley, who they had gone 0-4 against in their four prior meetings. The Panthers blew past Union/Allegheny-Clarion Valley 30-19 on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Karns City came tearing into Wednesday's contest with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They walked away with a 13-8 victory over the Falcons.

Keystone might still be hurting after the 12-4 defeat they got from Karns City in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Will the Panthers have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
