Baseball Game Preview: Carlisle Thundering Herd vs. Big Spring Bulldogs

The Carlisle Thundering Herd will head out to face off against the Big Spring Bulldogs at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Carlisle fell victim to Chambersburg and their airtight pitching crew on Wednesday. They lost 12-0 to the Trojans. The loss continues a trend for the Thundering Herd in their meetings with the Trojans: they've now lost five in a row.

Carlisle got a good showing from Reese Thompson, who tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. The dominant performance also gave Thompson a new career-high in strikeouts (three).

Meanwhile, Big Spring took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Tuesday. They blew past Central Dauphin East 10-0.

Carlisle took their win against Big Spring in their previous meeting back in March of 2024 by a conclusive 8-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Carlisle since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
