Game 1 Perky League Finals: Collegeville White Sox at Lansdale Tigers

Pete Moore takes the ball for the Tigers, while dangerous Collegeville hitter Cody Clark looks to make an early impact in Game 1. The 2026 Perkiomen Valley Twilight League championship series begins tonight as the Lansdale Tigers host the Collegeville White Sox at Memorial Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The matchup brings together the league’s top two regular-season teams. Lansdale finished at 17-5-2, one game ahead of Collegeville at 16-6-2. The Tigers scored 152 runs during the season, while the White Sox finished close behind with 150 and allowed a league-low 78. Moore Gets the Game 1 Assignment Lansdale will place the ball in the hands of right-hander Pete Moore, who will be tasked with setting the tone for the Tigers at the beginning of the championship series. Moore will need to work efficiently and stay ahead in counts against a Collegeville lineup capable of applying pressure throughout the order. Keeping runners off base in front of the White Sox’s strongest hitters could prove critical, particularly in a Game 1 atmosphere where one early scoring opportunity can shift momentum for the remainder of the night. The Tigers enter the finals playing some of their best baseball of the season. Lansdale advanced by defeating the Valley Forge Aces 16-3 and 10-2 in its final two completed semifinal games. Clark Leads the Collegeville Threat One hitter Moore and the Lansdale defense will need to account for is Cody Clark, one of the most dangerous bats in the Collegeville lineup. Clark gives the White Sox a hitter capable of delivering in a run-producing situation and changing the complexion of the game with one swing. His plate appearances against Moore could become one of the defining matchups of Game 1, especially if Collegeville can place runners on base ahead of him. Collegeville arrives in the finals with a balanced roster and a pitching staff that consistently limited opposing offenses during the regular season. The White Sox allowed only 78 runs over 24 games, giving them the ability to win both high-scoring contests and close, late-inning battles. A Season Series with No Clear Favorite The regular-season meetings between these teams offered little separation. Lansdale and Collegeville played to a 3-3 tie on May 27, the Tigers earned a 7-5 victory on June 10, and the White Sox answered with an 11-2 win on June 29. Those results set the stage for what could be a tightly contested championship series. Lansdale will look to capitalize on its home-field atmosphere and build an early series advantage behind Moore. Collegeville will counter with its run-prevention ability and a lineup led by hitters such as Clark. After an entire summer of baseball, the Perky League championship is now down to two familiar rivals. Game 1 begins tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Park in Lansdale.
