The WPIAL will try again Thursday to complete the softball and baseball semifinals. Five games involving six Washington/Greene County teams were postponed Wednesday due to the forecasted heavy rains.  Weather permitting, Chartiers-Houston and Bentworth both seek return trips to the WPIAL Softball Championships. The Bucs won the Class 1A title a year ago but moved up to 2A for this cycle. The Bearcats lost in the 2A final last year to Neshannock. We’ll carry both 2A softball semifinals from North Allegheny Thursday evening. Coverage will be live on WJPA-AM (1450), with free-to-access online audio and NFHS video (subscription required under WPIAL agreements).  WPIAL Softball Brackets  WPIAL Baseball Brackets
