Baseball, softball, lacrosse playoffs start

Welcome to the Nach season 2025 Spring Sports, where the WPIAL Baseball, softball, young volleyball and lacrosse playoffs begin this week.

On Monday there are only softball, girls lacrosse and two preliminary baseball games at the post -season -Mitte stage.

The WPial has always tried to avoid a further meeting of teams from the same section in the first round of the distribution.

So it stabbed when not one, but two of the five class 4a games in the first round between the areas of the sections.

In Section 1, Derry (10-6) ended a tie for second place, a game in front of fourth place Greensburg Salem (12-5).

On Monday, the two meet for the third time in Norwin as No. 8 -Trojan against No. 9 Golden Lions at 3 p.m.

Derry won the first meeting 3-2 on the street on April 9, while Greensburg Salem achieved a 9: 5 victory as a road team in the second Matchup on May 2.

The other competitor of the first round of the section rivals has No. 5 Blackhawk (11-5) with No. 12 Western Beaver (6-12) in Montour at 5 p.m.

The Cougars won the two regular season games against the Golden Beavers in a six-day period with a total grade of 18: 2.

Blackhawk won 9-2 on the street on April 22nd and then finished 9-0 six days later.

The Cougars won their last two games and won victories in six of their last eight games.

The Golden Beavers needed the victories of Central Valley and North Catholic in the last week of the season to obtain a playoff lounger.

The other three games of the first round in class 4a softball are:

• No. 4 West Mifflin (13-6) faces No. 13 North Catholic (8-8) in Montour at 3 p.m.

• No. 7 Indiana (9-10) slaughter No. 10 Uniontown (10-8) in Norwin at 5 p.m.

• No. 6 Beaver (13-5) will compete at the Pleasant Valley Elementary School in Peters Township at 6:00 p.m. against No. 11 Belle Vernon (9-10)

The title game Rematch raises curtain in 5a softball

A year ago you played the last game of the softball season in class 5a, and now you are one of eight games that start the 5A night this spring.

Thomas Jefferson (12-6) will resign against the defending champion Armstrong (13-7) in Plum at 5 p.m.

In the final 2024 5a, Armstrong scored single runs in the first and third inning races before Thomas Jefferson scored the game with two runs in the fourth game and took the lead with a run in the fifth inning.

But the River Hawks opened the game with seven runs at the end of the sixth inning to win the second crown of the school with 9: 3 in three years.

Abigail Bauer had a three-run home for Armstrong and the winning Pitcher Madison Baker also made himself for the Hawks.

Olivia Stock and Morgan Alisky each had two goals for the Jaguar.

While the stage is not that big, these two of them with a chip on the shoulders of one-arm strong as a double-digit seed defender and Thomas Jefferson appear as defending champion and the current section winner as No. 6 seeds.

Here are the other seven 5A games of the first round on Monday:

• Penn-Trafford (17-2) with top seed is questioned by Moon (7-9) in West Mifflin at 5 p.m.

• No. 8 Plum (14-5) is removed with No. 9 Chartierts Valley (11-6) in West Mifflin at 3 p.m.

• No. 4 North Hills (15-4) will meet another section in Baldwin (13-5) in North Allegheny at 3 p.m.

• No. 5 Franklin Regional (13-6) takes over the FOX chapel No. 12 (12-6) in North Allegheny at 5 p.m.

• No. 2 Shaler (14-4) plays Connellsville (12-6) No. 3 at 3 p.m.

• No. 7 South Fayette (13-6) fights at 4 p.m. in the Pleasant Valley Elementary School in Peters Township in Peters Township (11-9).

• No. 3 West Allegheny (13-4) clashes with No. 14 Latrobe (10-8) at Plum at 7 p.m.

Baseball braids

The Highlanders took fourth place in Section 4-3a after being swept into their last section series against Seton Lasalle.

The game for the No. 15 seed

The gladiators took third place in section 2-3a and won three of their last four games, including a victory over South Park.

The Golden Eagles only made themselves on the last day of the regular season when they lost against Washington, but qualified when McGuffey lost both games of a double header against Seton Lasalle.

This will be the first night game in West Mifflin.

Girl lacrosse open playoffs

The first round of the District Lacrosse Playoffs for Girls 3a and Boys 2a begins on Tuesday and Junge 3a on Wednesday.

So the light seems bright in the eight playoff teams in the first round in Girls 2a on Monday.

The very first lacrosse playoffs of the WPIAL Class 2A girls took place 16 years ago when Quaker Valley conquered gold in 2009.

The Quaker repeated in 2010.

All of these years later, Quaker Valley (8-4) is still a regular post-season, this season as No. 7 seed

A year ago, both small Indians lost as No. 2 seeds and the Quäker as No. 11 in the quarter -finals of the district.

The winner will go to this year's quarter -finals to fight No. 2 Seton Lasalle.

Here are the other three 2A girls lacrosse opening games:
