Preview: Wissahickon Trojans vs. Upper Dublin Cardinals

Wissahickon and Upper Dublin are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2017, but likely not for long. The Wissahickon Trojans will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against the Upper Dublin Cardinals at 3:30 p.m. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Wissahickon took care of business in their home opener on Friday (and then some). They were the clear victor by a 21-5 margin over Delaware County Christian.

Meanwhile, Upper Dublin narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Gwynedd Mercy Academy 4-2.

Kyla Garrison made a splash while hitting and pitching. She struck out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits. Garrison has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't pitched less than five innings every time she's pitched this season. Garrison was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.

In other batting news, Madden Reilly was excellent, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and a double.

Wissahickon might still be hurting after the 12-1 loss they got from Upper Dublin in their previous meeting back in May of 2023. Thankfully for Wissahickon, Kaelin Penna (who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 4-for-4) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
