The Marple Newtown Fightin' Tigers will square off against the Conestoga Pioneers at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Marple Newtown comes in on nine and Conestoga on five.
Marple Newtown proved they can win big on Monday (they won by 15) and on Tuesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They skirted past Bristol 3-1. Those three runs were actually the fewest the Fightin' Tigers have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.
Ally Snyder spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up ten Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one walk in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Nicole Semerjian, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Siena Adams, who went 1-for-2 with one triple and one run.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Conestoga). They were the clear victors by a 17-5 margin over Harriton last Wednesday. Considering the Pioneers have won five contests by more than eight runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Marple Newtown pushed their record up to 9-0 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.2 runs over those games. As for Conestoga, their record now sits at 6-2.
Marple Newtown suffered a grim 10-0 defeat to Conestoga in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Can the Fightin' Tigers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
