Trinity (5A), Peters Township (5A) and Chartiers-Houston (2A) all entered Tuesday with baseball playoffs still alive. But each met disappointment at the end of the day, Peters Township having won but not getting the help they needed from Chartiers Valley against Upper St. Clair. Trinity lost at Moon and Chartiers-Houston lost a three-run lead in the sixth, then saw Frazier win at Beth-Center to take the final 2A bid. The two-county area is sending 10 baseball teams to the playoffs, with another 12 heading to the softball tournaments. Softball brackets are coming out Thursday afternoon with the baseball tournaments being seeded Friday. Here’s the Tuesday baseball scoreboard and the final playoff status for all 19 schools in the two-county area.
