Baseball scenarios

We're in the final week of the regular season and two Mid-Penn Conference division races have yet to be settled. Three teams are still in the running for the Commonwealth and Capital crowns.

Here's a breakdown of what could happen between tonight and Friday.

COMMONWEALTH
Scenario 1: Cumberland Valley defeats Central Dauphin East on Tuesday to win the Commonwealth outright with a 9-3 record.

Scenario 2: Cumberland Valley loses to Central Dauphin East on Tuesday. If this happens, there will be a three-way tie for the title between Chambersburg, CV and Red Land. All teams would finish 9-4.

CAPITAL
Scenario 1: Trinity defeats Susquenita on Tuesday and Boiling Springs on Thursday to win the Capital outright with a 12-2 record.

Scenario 2: Trinity loses to Susquenita on Tuesday and Boiling Springs on Thursday to fall out of the Capital Division race. Susquenita and West Perry, both with 11-3 division records, will then have a one-game playoff to determine who represents the Capital in next week's conference tournament.

Scenario 3: Trinity defeats Susquenita on Tuesday and loses to Boiling Springs on Thursday to finish tied with West Perry atop the division with identical 11-3 records. The Shamrocks and Mustangs would then have a one-game playoff.

Scenario 4: Trinity loses to Susquenita on Tuesday and defeats Boiling Springs on Thursday. If this happens, there will be a three-way tie between Susquenita, Trinity and West Perry. All teams would finish 11-3.
