MSA Sports Top Ten – WPIAL Baseball Playoff Teams – 05/07/2015

Thursday, May 7, 2015 | 6:55 PM


Every Monday during the regular season, MSA Sports ranks the Top 10 WPIAL baseball teams in each classification. For our final rankings this spring though, we will slot all 61 district baseball postseason bound squads with 16 in AAA, and 15 each in AAAA, AA and A. As is the case in all of our playoff rankings, its more of a seeding than true ranking as we follow the WPIAL rules in an effort to avoid teams from the same section playing each other.

There will be ONE First Round bye in Quad-A, Double-A and in Single-A and a full, clean bracket of 16 in Triple-A.

To figure out our First Round projected matchups, use the bracket formula of 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, 3 vs 14, 4 vs 12, 5 vs 12, 6 vs 11, 7 vs 10 and 8 vs 9.

Don’t forget the WPIAL Baseball Playoff Pairings Show is Friday at 7:00pm followed by exclusive coverage of the 2015 WPIAL Baseball Playoffs starting next week here on the MSA Sports Network.
