MAIN LINE, PA — About two weeks after the Main Line, Bala Cynwyd specifically, got a shoutout from pop star Sabrina Carpenter during the Grammys, the busy suburbs got another callout on the national stage.

Wednesday night marked game four of the "Jeopardy!" Tournament of Champions.

Contestants Neilesh Vinjamuri, Isaac Hirsch, and Adriana Harmeyer have been facing off after a lengthy series of preceding games, leading to those three players competing in the finals.

"Rosemont & Radnor are 2 of this collection of suburbs named for a stretch of railroad outside Philly."

The three will play again Thursday night at 7 p.m. on ABC in game five of the tournament. Should Vinjamuri win, he will become the latest local "Jeopardy!" Tournament of Champions victor.
