The gold has been earned this week by the 2022 WPIAL diamond champions as the district baseball and softball postseason comes to an end.

Some quick championship factoids:

• Union baseball and Beaver softball are the only two repeat champions.

• Union becomes the first school to sweep baseball and softball titles in the same season (and day) since North Allegheny in 2003.

• West Mifflin baseball, Armstrong softball and Union softball are first-time district champs while Seneca Valley breaks a 23-year title drought.

Now, all of the teams ranked below and others who have qualified, prepare for the start of the PIAA playoffs on Monday.

Undefeated Beaver remains No. 1 in the Trib 10 softball power rankings while Mt. Lebanon jumps up a notch to take the top spot in baseball.

Here are the latest power rankings with overall records through Friday and last week’s ranking. These rankings have zero classification boundaries.
