Red Lion will look to defend their home field against Carlisle at 12:00 p.m. Red Lion's pitching crew has only allowed 1.8 runs per game this season, so Carlisle's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Red Lion is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to ten runs on Monday, they were much more limited against Eastern York on Thursday. They took a 4-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Golden Knights.

One positive for the Thundering Herd, at least, is that this was the most points they've scored all season.
Lucas Ream led a balanced group of hitters, going 3-for-5 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. That triple was his first of the season. Another player making a difference was Bradyn Sober, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.
