Trinity is playing where?

Normally, we don't question what District 3 does in terms of sites for the baseball playoffs.

The reason for that is it usually makes sense.

But Trinity playing Conrad Weiser at War Memorial Stadium in Ephrata? That makes us wonder.

Trinity is the higher seeded team in the game and, while Ephrata isn't exactly in Conrad Weiser's back yard (the drive is roughly an hour), it's also not a site in the Mid-Penn.

There's only two other cases of a higher seeded team not playing in its geographical home area -- Lower Dauphin is at Wenger Field in 3-AAAA and Garden Spot is at Reading's George Field in 3-AAA. The thing is, both of those teams are seeded eighth and neither has a drive of more than 40 minutes.

Sure, the Shamrocks aren't a top seed at No. 7, but in 3-AAAA, seventh-seeded Dallastown is making the short trip to Horn Field in Red Lion for a game against Manheim Twp.

If there is good news to come of this, it's the face that the game is at 6:30 p.m., which gives Trinity fans the chance to make the one-hour trip.

In terms of distance between schools, putting the game at cavernous War Memorial Stadium makes sense. But this isn't the state semifinals. It's the first round of districts and the team with the better seed should not be rewarded with a one-hour drive.
