The Collingswood Panthers will venture away from home to take on the Clearview Pioneers at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Collingswood took a six-run defeat the last time they faced off against Audubon, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference.
