Freedom and Easton Area are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2019, but likely not for long. The Patriots are taking a road trip to face off against the Rovers at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Freedom's pitching crew has only allowed 1.3 runs per game this season, so Easton Area's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

The Patriots fell just short of the Hurricanes by a score of 2-1 on Tuesday. Having soared to a lofty ten runs in the game before, the Patriots couldn't push the score so high this time.
Meanwhile, Easton Area had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Tuesday. They skirted past the Hawks 11-9. While the Rovers didn't have the best season last year (they finished 6-14), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Cole Ordway was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024. Rowan Tom also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
