The New Hope-Solebury Lions will look to defend their home field on Thursday against the Cheltenham Panthers at 3:30 p.m. Cheltenham took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on New Hope-Solebury, who comes in off a win.

Cheltenham saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kaedon ?KC? Carrera, who went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and an RBI.

New Hope-Solebury came up short against Cheltenham in their previous matchup back in May of 2023, falling 5-1.

Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
