We have reached the week a week what coincides with the last day of the fourth month of the year and hoped to say “Adieu” to the showers in April.

Another busy day of the softball section games of the district, which are emphasized by a fight for first place in section 2-4a, visits West Mifflin at 7 p.m.

The defending WPial master Warriors is in first place with a section record of 9-1.

EF is 11-2 in season and has won seven games in a row since his only loss of sections by Belle Vernon.

The titans are a game at 8-2 in the section.

West Mifflin is 10-5 and won three in a row before fell in Laurel Highlands on Monday.

The Warriors can win the section crown directly with a win, while a Titan triumph could lead to a share of the section crown, with each team a section game remains after Wednesday.

In the first meeting of the season between these two rivals on April 14, Elizabeth striker Big won at home and remained 8-0 with West Mifflin.

The winner of the Pitcher Julia Johnson excluded nine for the Warriors, while teammates Sophie Paskinski had a triple and two RBIs and Julia Resnick, doubled and drove home.

Fights for the post -season

Not every district team fights for a section championship.

Some only try to be part of the fun after the season in a week and a half.

• Five of the six playoff places were set in class 6a and No. 6 could be decided on Wednesday

The knights can win with a win, while the Blue Devils can keep their playoff hopes alive with a home win.

• In section 2-5a, Latrobe won a playoff spot, while the Kiski region needs a victory to stay alive when the teams fight for fourth place.

The wildcats are 6-5 because they prepare for their last section competition. The Cavaliers are 4-6 and have to win at home on Wednesday and annoy Franklin regionally on Friday to qualify.

• In section 1-4a, three teams are only separated by a game in a fight for third and fourth place behind Playoff-bound bone and Derry.

Two of these three teams collide on Wednesday when Indiana houses 5: 4 Highlands 5: 5 in the section.

Greensburg Salem is also 5-4 because it visits section champion Knoch.
