The Central Mountain Wildcats are taking a road trip to take on the State College Little Lions at 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Central Mountain had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the six-run drubbing they dealt DuBois on Monday. Central Mountain was the clear victor by a 10-4 margin over DuBois. The win continues a trend for the Wildcats in their matchups with the Beavers: they've now won eight in a row.
The team relied heavily on Watt Probst, who went 3-for-4 with one triple, one double, and one RBI. Blake Walker was another key player, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.
