Trinity survived a scare from Penn-Trafford Monday, opening the WPIAL 5A softball playoffs. The Hillers ran into outs on the bases in the 2nd, 4th and 6th innings, but managed to get by the Warriors. Taylor Dean got the win, allowing just two runs, one earned, in seven innings of work. Mirranda Rinehart homered in the third to tie the game. Hanna Suhoski doubled and scored when Addi Agnew’s fly ball to right was dropped and kicked out of play. Finley Hohn’s sacrifice fly scored Agnew with what proved to be the winning run. Trinity moves to the quarterfinals Wednesday against #6 Latrobe.
