Some soggy fields on a chilly, dreary Wednesday gave way to a sunny Thursday as the WPIAL pushed back eleven games to make for a busy day with all sixteen Second Round contests taking place around Southwestern Pennsylvania. When all was said and done, the Final Four field was set for the final four classification district postseason with the expansion to six classes taking place next spring. Here are all the recap from Quarterfinals Thursday.

A special thanks to Don Rebel, Kyle Dawson, Bob Orkwis, Sean Meyers, Brandon Showers, James Dotson, Josh Rowntree, Bob Gregg, Jake Holmes, Brian Mroziak, Greg Kuntz, Mark Schaas and Chris Lackner for their help on these recaps.

WPIAL CLASS AAAA Quarterfinals:

Plum Mustangs 2 – Peters Township Indians 0 
Alex Kirilloff nearly single-handedly edged Peters Township, 2-0, Thursday night.  In addition to holding the Indians to just one hit and no runs over six innings, the left-handed hitting senior tripled off the right-field fence and scored on Taylor Vivivo’s single in the first, then doubled down left-field line, driving in Thomas Zummo to make it 2-0 after two.  Fortunately for the Mustangs, that was enough.  TJ Dailey held Plum (21-0) to just two hits and one batter over the minimum the rest of the way.  Unfortunately for Peters Township (13-7), Kirilloff stayed away from any hits with men on base, and the Indians had runners aboard in every inning but one.  The winner walked five and the Mustang defense also committed two errors.  One of those put runners at second and third with one out in the fourth.  The southpaw got a strikeout and a grounder to first to end the threat.  From that point, Peters Township didn’t get another run beyond first base.  Kirilloff struck out 11 batters, including the last three he faced in the sixth.  Ethan Wiseburgh worked the seventh inning to earn save the win.  Dailey took the loss despite holding Plum to just two run on six hits, no walks, striking out a pair.  The teams combined for three hits, all singles, over the final 4.5 innings.

Hempfield Spartans 2 – Franklin Regional Panthers 1 
Franklin Regional looked to continue on the upset trail after beating #5 Bethel Park in the first round when it matched up Thursday against the 4-seeded Spartans of Hempfield. After a scoreless first, Franklin Regional got on the board in the second after a two-base throwing error made by Hempfield starting pitcher Charlie Varriano on a ball back up the box, and a few walks thereafter to make it 1-0 Panthers after two. The Spartans waited to respond until the sixth when a couple hits by Mitch Golden and Bronson Auckerman started things off in the sixth. Relief pitcher, who won it in relief eventually, Zayne Zalich sacrificed the two to scoring position before an attempted suicide squeeze failed by 9-hitter Dylan Sikora. On the next pitch, the hero for the Spartans tripled both home on a bullet to left centerfield to put Hempfield up 2-1. All of the sudden, the narrative changed as the Panthers were held hitless through six innings before, with one out and a man on via error, Will Constantin singled to right on a pitch off the end of his bat to force Hempfield’s Zayne Zalich to bear down, which he did recording two fly outs to end the quarterfinal matchup. With the loss, the #12 seed is out and falls to 14-8 on the year to end the season while the Spartans move to 16-6 overall and head to the Quad A semifinals to play the winner of Plum and Peters Township early next week.

Canon-McMillan Big Macs 5 – Pine-Richland Rams 1 
Canon-McMillan score in each of the first three innings and went on to beat Pine-Richland, 5-1, Thursday afternoon.  Ian Hess went 3-for-4, including a solo home run, and scored twice to lead the offense.  The Big Macs’ bats also delivered four sacrifice fly outs in the win.  Winning pitcher Zach Rohaley kept the Rams off-stride, scattering six hits–all singles, in the complete game victory.  Hess’ homerun opened the scoring, just clearing the left-field fence with two out in the bottom of the first.  Canon-McMillan (14-7) added two unearned runs in the second, using a leadoff walk and two P-R errors.  The Rams got their only run in the bottom of the inning.  Maxx Harpalani walked, move to second on Nick Haas’ base-hit and score on a single by Jacob Maggi. Second-seeded Pine-Richland (17-5) didn’t get another runner past second base.  CM restored the three-run margin in the top of the third.  Hess singled, moved to second on a wild pitch, to third on Tanner Piechnick’s single and scored on Jordan Catelli’s sac fly to left.  The Big Macs closed the scoring in the sixth.  Rohaley doubled, was bunted to third and scored on a Dylan Cole sacrifice fly out to right.  Piechnick and Castelli each had two hits for Canon-McMillan.  Tom Zbezinski took the loss for Pine-Richland, snapping the Rams’ seven-game win streak.  Zbezinski was charged with five runs, three earned on nine hits, two walks while striking out two in seven innings.  Five of the six hits came in the bottom third of the order, two each by Maggi and Ty Yoklic.  Rohaley did not have a one-two-three inning, but stayed away from the big hit with runners on base.  The right-hander allowed the one run on six hits, walked four and struck out six.

Norwin Knights 7 – Latrobe Wildcats 1 
Pitching against Greater Latrobe for the third time this season, Norwin’s Chad Coles stifled the Wildcats’ bats, guiding the Knights to a 7-1 win in the Quad-A Quarterfinals at Hempfield Area High School. The foes from Section 2 were both held scoreless in the first inning, but No. 14 Norwin gained the upper hand in the top of the second. Three straight Knights reached base to open the frame, as Greater Latrobe’s Zach Kokoska struggled with his command. Norwin’s Jon LoChiatto plated the first run on a fielder’s choice, and Kokoska walked in the second run with the bases loaded, his fourth free pass of the inning. In the following inning, Norwin exploded with a four-run outburst, as the Knights’ first three hitters reached against reliever Tyler Kuhns. Although Kuhns collected consecutive strikeouts, he could not escape the jam, as LoChiatto delivered a two-run single to left field. Daniel Kiester followed up with a single that scored two more for Norwin, which pulled ahead 6-0. Staked to the sizable lead, Coles never looked back, as the limited the sixth-seeded Wildcats to just four hits. The squads exchanged a run in the fifth inning, but Greater Latrobe never seriously threatened to stage a comeback. Coles retired the side in order in the bottom of the seventh to seal the victory. In addition to LoChiatto’s impressive effort, Kiester reached base four times and drive in three runs, while Nick Amendola and Jonathan Pingree each added a pair of hits. For Greater Latrobe, Ryan Augustine turned in a multi-hit effort, while Ryan Shawley pitched four effective innings of relief after the first two Wildcats struggled on the mound. By notching two straight upsets, including a shocker against third-seeded Shaler in the first round, the Knights now advance to the semifinals, where they will face Canon-McMillan.

WPIAL CLASS AAA Quarterfinals:

Chartiers Valley Colts 2 – Laurel Highlands Mustangs 1 
Caysen O’Keefe broke up a scoreless tie in the top of the 5th inning driving in Connor Corchado and Chartiers Valley picked up a 2nd run when Steve Alauzen scored on a wide throw as the Colts snapped an 18 game Laurel Highlands winning streak downing the Mustangs 2 to 1 on Thursday Night in a AAA Quarterfinal Round Game at the Boyce Mayview Complex in Upper St. Clair.  Ross Wilkerson pitched a complete game picking up the win for the Colts improving to 4-3 on the season.  Zach Uhazie also pitched a complete game for Laurel Highlands and picked up his 1st loss of the season dropping to 8-1.  Troy Kifer drove in Lucas Boyle for Laurel Highlands lone run of the game in the bottom of the 6th inning.  Laurel Highlands had an opportunity to strike first in the bottom of the 3rd inning but left the bases loaded when Hudson Novak popped out to Caysen O’Keefe to end the inning.  Chartiers Valley improves to 14-7 overall and makes their 2nd straight trip to the WPIAL Semi-Finals and will take on Mars.  Laurel Highlands suffered only their 2nd loss of the season and their 1st since March 26th.  The Mustangs season ends with a 19-2 record.

Mars Fighting Planets 3 – Hopewell Vikings 0 
The Planets took advantage of some miscues and used a timely hit to post all the runs they would need to advance to the semifinals. Mars scored 3 runs in the 5th inning as Eli Brooks and Isiah Johnson singled to start the inning. Errors by Griffin Curry and Chris Skelton gave Mars a 2-0 advantage, Jack Anderson’s double brought home a 3rd run as the Section 5 champs were in business. That would be the cushion Mars starter Dylan Rotz asked for, he went the distance allowing just 2 hits and fanned 7. Rotz stranded 2 runners at third in the 2nd and 3rd innings, he did not allow a hit and had only 2 baserunners over the last 4 innings. He set the Vikings in order in 3 of his 7 innings. Dave Anderson, Anthony Michalski and Brooks each had 2 hits. The Planets only had 8 hits but it was more than they would need. Mars is now 14-5 and has won 3 straight games. Skelton had the only extra base hit for Hopewell with a double in that 3rd inning but could not score. Joey Rock pitched into the 6th inning, he was tagged with the loss. The Vikings finish at 15-7.

Knoch Knights 7 – Montour Spartans 2 
A year after making a magical run to their first WPIAL and PIAA championships, it appears that No. 10 Knoch (14-6) may be ready to defend their titles. Jeremy Frazier took a no-hitter 6 2/3 innings, lifting the Knights to a 7-2 win over No. 2 Montour (14-4) on Thursday afternoon at Fox Chapel High School. With the win, Knoch advances to the WPIAL AAA Semifinals, where they will meet No. 3 Blackhawk next week. Frazier, who was starting due to a shoulder injury to Ohio University recruit Cole Shinsky, retired the first eleven batters he faced. After an error spoiled his perfect game aspirations, Frazier sat down the next 9 Spartans before LSU recruit Trent Vietmeier singled with two outs in the 7th. Knock built their lead early in the 2nd inning after Addis Crouch doubled and scored on a single by Jake Herrit. The Knights would surge to a 2-0 lead after Kent State recruit Dominick Bucko singled and then scored on a base hit by P.J. Gourley. That score would hold until the 7th, when a pair of walks and an error would load the bases for Knoch’s Alex Stobert. Stobert, a Tallahassee Community College recruit, would single to give the Knights a 4-0 edge. An infield single by Crouch, fielder’s choice by Herrit and sacrifice fly by Dylan Swarmer would all result in runs and advance the lead to 7-0. Once the no-hitter bid was ended in the ensuing half inning, Zach McGowan would double to cut into Knoch’s lead, cutting the edge to 7-2. But Frazier would close the door on his three-hit, four-strikeout performance. Frazier did not walk a batter in the contest. Brian Dabny picked up the loss for Montour, allowing two runs on nine hits in five innings of work.

Blackhawk Cougars 7 – West Allegheny Indians 0 
The Cougars jumped out to a 2-0 lead and exploded for a 5 run 2nd as they advanced to a semifinal date with the defending champion Knoch Knights next week. West Allegheny had a chance to tie the game in the top half of the inning. Devin Donaldson led off the inning with a single. Jake Cunningham bunted the runner to second, the throw by pitcher Andy McClymonds got down the first base line, allowing Donaldson to go to third. The return throw sailed over third but Adam Robinson got a good bounce off the fence and nailed Donaldson at the plate. Robinson started an inning ending double play when he snared a line drive and doubled Nick Ross off of first base. Blackhawk had 5 straight batters reach base, the big hit was a run scoring double by Jimmy Nixon. The Cougars chased Indians starter Steve Twardy after 1.1 innings, he took the loss. Robinson had 2 hits, scored twice and drove in a run. Robbie Swinderman also had 2 hits. Michael Turconi and Mark Engel each drove in a run. McClymonds allowed only 1 hit after the first 2 innings. The sophomore only fanned 2 but set down the last 8 batters of the game. Blackhawk goes to 17-4 overall, the Cougars have won 6 straight. The Indians had appeared in the title game the last 2 seasons, winning the 2014 title. West Allegheny’s final record is 14-6.

WPIAL CLASS AA Quarterfinals:

Neshannock Lancers 11 – Shady Side Academy Indians 0 
After needing a walk-off wild pitch to squeak by 16-seed Charleroi in the first round, the defending WPIAL and PIAA Champion Neshannock wanted to come out with a vengeance in the quarterfinals. The Lancers put a ten spot on the board in the bottom of the second inning and cruised to an 11-0 mercy rule victory over Shady Side Academy. Coach Mike Kirkwood’s squad sent 16 batters to the plate, including 11 straight batters reaching base to begin the frame. Dante DeLillo led off the frame with a double, the first of nine hits in the inning for Neshannock. Danny Welker, Rich Serignese, and Mike Nuzzo all had RBI singles in the frame, while Brandon Scheidemantle and DeLillo each tallied 2-RBI singles. Jason Swope and Frank Fraschetti drew bases loaded walks as well. 16 hits offensively was more than enough comfort for Serignese, who threw a complete game (five innings) shutout for the Lancers. The best chance for Shady Side came in the top of the first inning, but two hits and a walk went unrewarded as Serignese forced a groundout to leave the bases loaded. The Indians also left the bases loaded in the third inning. Serignese gave up seven hits, struck out four, and walked three in getting the victory. He also excelled at the plate, going 3 for 3 and reaching base all four times he came to the plate. DeLillo went 3 for 3 and was a home run shy of the cycle. Tyler Gorse took the loss in 1+ innings of work, getting tagged for 7 earned runs on 7 hits. Sophomore Luke Keenan led the way offensively for the Indians, going 2 for 3 with a double. The young Shady Side Academy squad finishes the year with an 11-9 record, and will bring back a young nucleus of players next season. The Lancers improve to 18-2 in advancing to the WPIAL Semifinals, where they will face a familiar foe in section opponent and local rival Shenango. The 1-seed Lancers and 13-seed Wildcats will do battle next week at a site and time to be determined with a trip to the WPIAL Championships on the line.

Shenango Wildcats 4 – Seton-LaSalle Rebels 2
Both the Shenango Wildcats and the Seton-LaSalle Rebels earned Quarterfinal spots in the AA Baseball bracket with major upsets.  The 13th-seeded Wildcats upended the #4 Avonworth Antelopes, 5-0, and the #12 Rebels knocked off #5 Brownsville, 13-6.  Thursday, the two underdogs clashed at the Boyce-Mayview Sports Complex. Anthony Ryan led off the game for the Cats with a double. Three batters later, a Vince Turco fly ball hit off the top of the Rebels’ Nick Vari’s glove. The 2-base error allowed Ryan to score and give Shenango a 1-0 lead. In the bottom of third, Jared Coppozza led off for SL with a single. A one-out walk to Nico Popa followed. Coppozza scored on an RBI-single by Liam Sweeney to knot the game at 1. Ron Esposito led off the top of the 4th with a walk.  With one out, Gage Hoover and Hunter Waskin both singled.

The Shenango Wildcats move on to the WPIAL Class AA Semifinals with a 4-2 victory over the Seton-LaSalle Rebels.  The Cats have an even tougher row to hoe, however, as they face a very familiar foe, the top-seeded Neshannock Lancers, who crushed the Shady Side Academy Indians in the Quarters.  The Rebels’ season is over at 10-6 record.  Shenango moves on with a 10-10 mark.

Greensburg Central Catholic Centurions 5 – Bishop Canevin Crusaders 4 
Seven innings was not nearly enough to settle the quarterfinal matchup between Greensburg Central Catholic and Bishop Canevin on Thursday. During the bottom of the tenth inning GCC prevailed and avoided upset by way of a 5-4 triumph. The Centurions got off to a quick start in the bottom of the first with a leadoff triple by Neal McDermott who was knocked in by Tommy Pellis two batters later to make the score 1-0.

Union Scotties 6 – Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Chargers 4 
The #4/ vs #5 in the WPIAL Class A Baseball bracket between the Union Scotties and the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Chargers can be summed up by two major keys: walks and a big 6th inning for each team. Union got the scoring started in the bottom half of the 1st inning as Cole Gorgacz scored on a Tim Sumner fielders choice. Gorgacz would come around to score again in the 3rd when the pitcher Logan Schuller skied a ball into mid centerfield allowing Gorgacz to trot home easily on the sacrifice fly. OLSH’s first chance at some runs would come in the 5th. 4 consecutive walks by the Scotties would allow the Chargers to load the bases. Schuller was then able to tightrope out of danger when he got a ball to bounce right back to him and set up the easy 1-2-3 double play to end the top of the 5th. Flood gates opened for both teams in the 6th inning. The Chargers batted around in the 6th, scoring 3 runs on 4 hits. Union then stormed back with 4 runs on 5 hits of their own. Dom Costello shut the door for the Scotties in the 7th to lock down the 6-4 Union victory at Seneca Valley High School. Both #3 hitters in the lineup in this game (Joe Gunn for Union/Kiefer Bishop for OLSH) were shown the ultimate signs of respect by the opposing pitchers as they walked 3 times a piece in the game. The OLSH Chargers strong season comes to an end. The Union Scotties now face Greensburg Central Catholic in the Class A semifinals.

Serra Catholic Eagles 8 – Sewickley Academy Panthers 2

Zach Bowen later came around to score in that inning giving the Eagles a 3-0 lead. The Eagles extended that lead in the 2nd when Ben Visnesky singled in Ben Davis who later scored that same inning extending the lead to 5-0. The Eagles would score at least one run every inning but their at bat in the 6th. The Panthers on the other hand had trouble getting to Nate Potinka who gave up only 2 runs on 8 hits which were scattered through the game. The two runs came in the 4th when Potinka gave up three singles in a row loading the bases for Adam Snyder to single in Steven Klemash and Derek Littlefield drove in the final run for the Panthers on a sacrifice fly to left.

Designated hitter Anthony Milicia and leftfielder Jim Seskey each had run scoring singles and Thompson drew a bases loaded walk to force home a run as Vincentian broke a scoreless tie with a 3-spot in the bottom of the fourth inning. Three was once again the lucky number for the Royals in the bottom of the sixth inning and once again Thompson was able to help his own cause. A pair of Brentwood errors put runners at first and third and catcher Mark Yakim was able to score Milicia from third on a fielder’s choice groundball to second baseman Michael Lane whose throw home was a bit late allowing the Royals to take a 4-0 lead.  Yakim was able to take second base on the play with Seskey moving to third.
