For the first time this season, Susquehannock will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They will take on the Biglerville Canners at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams are strolling into their matchups after big wins in their previous games.
Susquehannock barely beat Northeastern the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Warriors' pitcher stepped up to hand the Bobcats a 10-0 shutout on Monday. The Warriors have beaten the Bobcats the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Bobcats has come to flipping the script.

Meanwhile, Biglerville entered their tilt with Pequea Valley on Wednesday with six consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with seven. They blew past the Braves 15-1. Considering the Canners have won ten games by more than six runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Sydney McCleaf made a splash while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out ten over five innings pitched. McCleaf was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off two home runs, three runs, and four RBI while going 2-for-2.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Paige Slaybaugh, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. Ava Peterson was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two runs, two RBI, and one double.
Biglerville pushed their record up to 14-4 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Susquehannock, their record now sits at 12-5.
Susquehannock couldn't quite finish off Biglerville when the teams last played back in May of 2024 and fell 4-2. Can the Warriors avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
