A WPIAL champion saw its season come to a surprising end as Class 5A champion Shaler dropped a 4-3, eight-inning decision to Twin Valley in a first-round PIAA softball game played Monday at Shaler High School. The loss overshadowed a 16-strikeout performance by Titans starter Bria Bosiljevac, who allowed only five hits. Twin Valley (21-5), the District 3 fourth-place finishers, hit two home runs in the fourth inning.

Recharged from a four-day break after winning its third WPIAL Class 5A baseball title in six years, Shaler began its quest for a PIAA championship by using a proven formula — solid pitching and defense. The host Titans (17-6) blanked Conestoga Valley, 4-0, Monday afternoon at Matulevic Field as Colby Weber pitched a one-hit shutout. Weber, a 6-foot-7 senior, struck out five without walking a batter. Weber only needed 70 pitches over seven innings, which included 57 strikes.
