The Cambria Heights Highlanders will head out on the road to challenge the Hollidaysburg Golden Tigers at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Last Wednesday, it was close, but Cambria Heights sidestepped Homer-Center for a 5-3 victory.
Jayden Ivory looked comfortable as she pitched four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits.
On the hitting side, Ellie Bender was excellent, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-4. The team also got some help courtesy of Gina Lane, who scored a run while going 3-for-4.
Meanwhile, after only one run in their last game, Hollidaysburg made sure to put some runs up on the board against Bellwood-Antis on Tuesday. Hollidaysburg had just enough and edged out Bellwood-Antis 12-11. The win continues a trend for the Golden Tigers in their matchups with the Blue Devils: they've now won three in a row.
The team relied heavily on Mia Hall, who went 2-for-4 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Lexi Peacock, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-5.
Cambria Heights might still be hurting after the 13-3 loss they got from Hollidaysburg when the teams last played back in March of 2024. Can Cambria Heights avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
