Going on the road to watch the Hounds play is always a fun time that leaves us with great memories. Well, fuzzy memories anyways. Being our rivals, Harrisburg trips hold a special place in our hearts. Last year those who made the journey got to see an amazing game when the Hounds came back from 2-0 at the half to win 4-3.
