RARE DOUBLE SWEEP

Sweeping a section series in WPIAL baseball is very good, but what Pine-Richland is trying to do Friday is unheard of.

Following the Rams’ three-game sweep of their scheduled series with Seneca Valley — three one-run wins on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday — Pine-Richland tries to finish a sweep of Allderdice on Friday.

Due to the wet weather last week, the Rams and Dragons played only one of their three games with P-R winning, 8-1.

Game 2 of the series was played two days ago, and the Rams were big winners again, 13-2.

Now they will finally finish the series with Game 3 on Friday at Pine-Richland.

The Rams began the week with a modest section record of 3-1. If they can win their fifth section game in five days, they will improve to 8-1 in Section 1-6A with only three games left against undefeated North Allegheny on Apr. 29 and 30 and May 2.
