The Upper St. Clair Baseball team traveled to EQT Park in Washington on Wednesday as they squared off with section rival South Fayette in the WPIAL Championship game. The two teams met twice in the regular season with the Lions winning both games, but the Panthers got their revenge in a thrilling WPIAL Championship. The Lions opened the scoring with a run in the fourth inning, but the Panthers answered with two in the 5th thanks to RBI singles by Tanner Schroeck and Finn Baird. After South Fayette tied the game their half of the 5th inning the two teams went scoreless in the 6th and entered the final frame tied at two. In the top of the 7th, Brooks York continued his clutch postseason by leading off with a double and Schroeck came through again later in the inning, plating courtesy runner Austin Chambers on a one-out single up the middle. Max Dietrick capped off his stellar performance on the mound in the bottom of the 7th, stranding two runners and securing the 3-2 win for the Panthers. Dietrick dominated the Lions from the first inning to the last, as he threw complete-game gem allowing only five hits and striking out three. The win gives Upper St. Clair their first WPIAL Championship since 1992 and gives Head Coach Jeff Donati his first as leader of the Panthers. The team now advances to the PIAA Tournament which will begin on Monday. The Panthers will take on New Oxford High School with the site and time still to be determined.
