Opening day of the WPIAL Softball & Baseball playoffs produced split results for teams from the two-county area. Trinity took advantage of a two-out error in the third and pushed across three runs, more than enough to eliminate South Fayette in the 5A softball opening round. McGuffey baseball fell to Shady Side Academy in a 3A preliminary round game, ending the Highlanders’ season.
ALL TUESDAY WPIAL Softball & Baseball playoff games have been postponed. Tuesday, 16 Washington/Greene teams are scheduled to play, all first-round games in the 1A-2A-3A baseball & softball brackets.
