West Allegheny drove 79 yards and scored with less than a minute to play, then converted the two-point play to beat Trinity. With the win, the Indians clinched a playoff spot and left the Hillers feeling snake-bit. Trinity outgained West Allegheny. 439-226, but turned the ball over twice, including a Jayce Stanton 69-yard Pick Six in the first half. Peters Township’s hopes of repeating took a crushing blow, losing at Bethel Park. Ringgold’s four-game winning streak was snapped along with the Rams unbeaten conference championship dreams. Waynesburg’s section title hopes ended, losing at home to Belle Vernon. Chartiers-Houston’s loss and McGuffey’s win combined to set up next week’s win-and-you’re-in game at McGuffey. Wash High and Fort Cherry both won easily, a week ahead of their Black Hills Conference championship game next week. Bentworth’s playoff hopes took a hit with the loss to Monessen. Avella was even with California to the game’s final three minutes before the Trojans scored to win and remain tied for first in the Tri-County South. Beth-Center needed no such dramatics in its win at Mapletown. Watch/Listen Here!

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Trevor Megill struck out Jonny DeLuca with runners on second and third to wiggle out of a ninth-inning jam as the Milwaukee Brewers escaped with a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series. DeLuca’s strikeout came after Tampa Bay’s Liam Hicks had grounded into an apparent game-ending double play that was overturned after a video review. Replays determined Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt’s right foot was slightly off the bag when he reached to catch a high throw from second baseman Brice Turang. Jacob Misiorowski allowed one run over five innings to earn the win.
