McGuffey is preparing for their first conference matchup of the season on Friday. They will head out to face off against the Keystone Oaks Golden Eagles at 3:45 p.m.
McGuffey is leaving town to face Keystone Oaks after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Highlanders fell 5-2 to Jefferson-Morgan on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Keystone Oaks entered their tilt with South Fayette on Wednesday with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Lions, sneaking past 3-1.
Kennadi Smith spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up 13 Ks. Those 13 strikeouts set a new season-high mark for her.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Sophie Garretson, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. Kailyn Brannon also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
McGuffey was able to grind out a solid win over Keystone Oaks in their previous matchup back in April of 2025, winning 11-6. Do the Highlanders have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Golden Eagles turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
