Meanwhile, it was a proper cat-fight when Pocono Mountain East duked it out with Pocono Mountain West on Wednesday. The Cardinals blew past the Panthers 13-1. That 12 run margin sets a new team best for the Cardinals this season.
Emmaus' victory was their 16th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-2.

Everything went Emmaus' way against Pocono Mountain East in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, as Emmaus made off with a 12-2 win.
