It was a taste of what loomed, and motivated Young to keep pushing in the hopes of eventually making it to T-Mobile Park.

Carmichaels faced a daunting challenge in Wednesday’s WPIAL Class 1A championship: Could their offense crack Serra Catholic’s dominant pitching and explosive lineup?

The WPIAL baseball championships this week will have a trio of coaches who could earn a spot in the record books. Tripleheaders will be played Tuesday and Wednesday at EQT Park, home of the Washington Wild Things. Riverside coach Dan Oliastro, in his 57th season, has won six titles and a victory in Wednesday’s Class 3A final will make him No. 1 on the all-time list, surpassing McKeesport’s Abby Fallquist, who coached from the late 1920s to the early 1960s.

Every guy wants to see guys next to them succeed. I know that sounds cliché, but it’s true." https://t.co/6hJwnXwEMw
T.J. McConnell (Chartiers Valley grad) of the Pacers is only 9th player from district (WPIAL or City) to make Finals. 4 from WPIAL & 4 from City previously made it. Here are the 8 others who made Finals. Only Maurice Lucas of Schenley won a title in 1977. https://t.co/r4n78neGtr
