Celaschi no-hits GCC as Cougars roll

By LIAM BELAN
[email protected]

When it comes to the postseason, it’s typically a recipe for success when you’re able to play a clean game.
Not only did No. 6 Charleroi take advantage of three costly errors from No. 11 Greensburg Central Catholic in an 11-0 win during the first round of the WPIAL Class 2A playoffs Tuesday, but it also got a no-hitter from pitcher Sofia Celaschi.
Put those things together, and you get a five-inning victory in a playoff game.

Eagles top Bulldogs to advance

By JEREMY SELLEW

With six starters never playing in a playoff game, Serra Catholic head coach Denny Willaman isn’t surprised how Tuesday’s WPIAL first-round game against Beth-Center turned out.
While the No. 4 Eagles picked up an 11-3 win over the No. 13 Bulldogs, it wasn’t pretty.

Yough survives to beat McGuffey

By LIAM BELAN
[email protected]

When McGuffey started the bottom of the seventh with two singles during Tuesday’s WPIAL Class 3A first round matchup against Yough, the Cougars (9-4) needed to make a change.
Starting pitcher Kylee Fisher had pitched six strong innings, holding McGuffey (10-5) to just one run as her Cougars led 2-1. However, when she admitted to Yough coach Dutch Harvey that she was running out of gas during a visit at the mound, Harvey needed someone to step up and hold onto the lead.
