JUNIATA PREVIEW

Evenly matched teams?
Juniata, a tough competitor for
Wesley Wolverines on weekend


The Juniata Eagles (8-12) will be in town this Sunday, April 26, to take on the Wesley Wolverines (21-12) at 1:00 & 3:00 PM at the Reynolds DuPont softball field, 511 Mary Street, Dover, DE.

 
Despite a difference in win/loss records, the games are shaping up to be competitive contests between two teams that appear fairly evenly matched when comparing performances against a common opponent.

Juniata, just yesterday, April 21, split an away doubleheader in Middletown, PA, played against Capitol Athletic Conference (CAC) member, the Penn State Harrisburg Lions.

The Eagles dropped the first game 9-3, but rallied in the nightcap by scoring 10 runs in the last three innings to grab an 11-8 victory over the Lions.

The Wolverines tried the same come-from-behind trick against Penn State Harrisburg on the Lions' home field last March 30th by driving home 5 runs in the last two innings, but fell short in a 7-6 loss before dropping the second game 6-3.
