Things were looking good for Karns City after they put the first run on the board on Thursday, but unfortunately for them things went downhill from there. They fell just short of Moniteau by a score of 3-1. Gremlins fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team's lost against the Warriors since on Thursday.

The Lions haven't had any issues with Union/Allegheny-Clarion Valley recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.
