Central Dauphin and Cedar Cliff are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2021, but likely not for long. The Rams will look to defend their home field on Wednesday against the Colts at 4:15 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Central Dauphin 2.4, Cedar Cliff 3.1) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Central Dauphin lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Chambersburg, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Monday's contest. The Rams' pitchers stepped up to hand the Trojans an 8-0 shutout on Monday. The Rams might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by six runs or more this season.
Alex Scaringi was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. What's more, he posted three strikeouts, the most he's had since back in May of 2025. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
In other pitching news, Central Dauphin got a great performance from Chase Shrader as he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Shrader also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because the Rams are 5-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 2-3 otherwise.
