Trinity built a 4-0 early lead only to see Shaler tie the game in the bottom of the seventh. In the ninth, Kristina Bozek reach on an error, stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a foul sac fly to give the Hillers the win over Shaler, reaching the WPIAL softball finals for the first time since 2009. Trinity got a pair of home runs from Hanna Suhoski and RBI singles from winning pitcher Taylor Dunn and Amber Morgan to take the early lead. Shaler scored twice in the third, another in the fifth. In the seventh, two outs after a leadoff triple, a low pitch eluded Trinity’s catcher with Ellie Facher scoring to sent the game to extra innings. Click for WPIAL Softball WPIAL Baseball
