Peters Township’s Wes Parker runs from teammates after driving in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning of their WPIAL Class 5A quarterfinal against Penn-Trafford on Thursday, May 19, 2022, at West Mifflin High School.
With two weeks left before the start of the PIAA postseason, the days of losing and hoping to cling to a spot in the Trib HSSN state baseball rankings are done.
Get bumped from the district postseason early enough and title hopes, along with a place among the state elite, vanishes.
Win and advance, lose and go home…and not home plate.
Archbishop Wood dropped from No. 1 to No. 2 in Class 5A, allowing undefeated Chichester to take over the new top-ranked position.
The other five remain intact with Bethlehem Liberty in 6A, Monsignor Bonner-Archbishop Prendergast in 4A, Central, Martinsburg in 3A, Serra Catholic in 2A and Eden Christian Academy in A at No. 1.
