Coming into Thursday's playoff action, only one defending PIAA baseball champion remains.That team is Conrad Weiser, which stormed to the Class AAA title last year but lost 10 seniors from that team. The Scouts opened their playoff run with a 7-4 victory over Trinity in the 3-AAA first round. Awaiting them tonight in the quarterfinals at Muhlenberg's Gochnauer Field is a Twin Valley team that swept them in the regular season.
West Chester Henderson, the defending AAAA champion, didn't surive the second round of the District 1 playoffs. Henderson fell to last year's state runner-up, Owen J. Roberts, 8-2.
Last year's Class AA champion, Bermudian Springs, was bumped up to Class AAA this year and didn't survive District 3's preliminary round, dropping a tough 8-7 decision to Kennard-Dale in eight innings.
Now, for the most shocking score of the district playoffs this season. Perennial power Christopher Dock, the defending Class A champion and the top seed in District 1-A, lost to eighth-seeded Jenkintown, 3-2, Tuesday.
That's a shocking turn of events for the three-time state champions who opened the season by crushing Jenkintown, 13-3. The Pioneers were three-time defending champions of District 1-A.
