The Cranberry Area Berries are taking a road trip to square off against the Reynolds Raiders at 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Monday, Cranberry Area made easy work of Curwensville and carried off a 14-4 victory. The Berries have beaten the Golden Tide the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Golden Tide has come to flipping the script.
