Meanwhile, Pen Argyl hadn't done well against Northwestern Lehigh recently (they were 1-7 in their previous eight matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Monday. The Green Knights had just enough and edged out the Tigers 5-4. That's two games straight that the Green Knights have won by just one run.
Lucas Lerch made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Pen Argyl is 3-0-1 when he allows at most two earned runs, but 3-5 otherwise.

Pen Argyl's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-5-1. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Wilson Area, their loss ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 6-7.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Wilson Area has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Pen Argyl struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Wilson Area came out on top in a nail-biter against Pen Argyl in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, sneaking past 4-3. Will the Warriors repeat their success, or do the Green Knights have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
