UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Freedom had faith it would beat Faith Christian for its first PIAA title Friday at Penn State University. What the Bulldogs didn’t have was Reid Miller. For the second year in a row, Miller shut down a WPIAL opponent in a PIAA final, firing a 3-hitter and striking out 11 to lead District 1 champion Faith Christian to a 13-1 win against Freedom in the Class 2A title game at Penn State’s Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
