Knoch senior Zane Pacek (aka Big Country), a 7-foot right hander, has committed to Central Michigan. Talented kid, and will likely be the tallest guy playing college baseball. #WPIAL
100% committed #fireupchips
Cole Young is the first @Mariners player age 21-or-younger with a *walk-off hit* since Alex Rodriguez on March 31, 1996 vs. the Chicago White Sox.
Cole Young calls game. Wow. The Mariners have now won five straight, have trimmed Houston’s lead in the AL West to three games and reclaimed the head-to-head with their division rivals, five games to four.
Mac Miller ( Malcolm McCormick ) was #48 for the East End Crusaders .
NEWS: Australian forward Roman Siulepa has enrolled at Pitt, Daniel Moldovan of Lighthouse Sports told ESPN. Siulepa had an explosive showing at the FIBA U19 World Cup, posting 18.9 points, 8.1 rebounds in 29 minutes per game, leading the event in free throw attempts.
In honour of the ESPYs tonight, here’s Norm Macdonald’s closer from his all-timer of a monologue in 1998. No pressure, Shane Gillis.
Another big honor for Riverside’s Zach Hare, who was selected Small Town National Player of the Year by MaxPreps. Among the players also considered was Eli Willits, the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB Draft. #WPIAL


MCkeesport RB Kemon Spell is the WPIAL’s highest rated prospect in a long time. He is currently ranked as the #8 player in the entire country and #1 RB in his class 🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏 #WPIAL
Finally some progress towards getting a shot clock in PA. Happy to see this going in the right direction.
On a first reading basis, the PIAA board just went against the basketball steering committee’s suggestion of no shot clock in PA by a 22-9 vote to accept implementation of a shot clock for JV and varsity basketball for the 28-29 school year. Details in tomorrow’s @AltoonaMirrorPA

Flashback to when new Pirates draft pick Dylan Mathiesen struck out 10 and earned the win as Montour edged West Mifflin to earn a spot in the state final. Mathiesen used to rock the black and gold and hopes to again one day, too. #WPIAL
Dylan Mathiesen was the man today for Montour. Pitched a complete game, giving up four hits and striking out 10 to help the Spartans beat West Mifflin, 2-1, in the PIAA Class 4A baseball semifinals.
Congratulations is in order to Montour’s Dylan Mathiesen @dmathiesenn on being selected in the 13th round by…. Yep. The Pittsburgh Pirates. @hilltopspartan @DR_CHRIS_STONE #blackandgold
