The Abington Galloping Ghosts will head out on the road to challenge the Council Rock South Golden Hawks at 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
Abington can't be to happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Saturday. They fell just short of Central Bucks West by a score of 9-7. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it six in a row.
Meanwhile, Council Rock South sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 win over Archbishop Ryan on Thursday. The victory continues a trend for the Golden Hawks in their matchups with the Raiders and Ragdolls: they've now won three in a row.
Blake Jordan looked comfortable as he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off four hits.
On the hitting side, Council Rock South's win was truly a team effort as two different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Reed Curtier, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-3. Those two runs gave Curtier a new career-high.
Abington came out on top in a nail-biter against Council Rock South in their previous matchup back in May of 2018, sneaking past 4-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for Abington since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
