Berlin's bats leads team to District V title
CLAYSBURG (WTAJ) — After dodging raindrops all week long, districts V, VI and IX finally put to bed their district tournaments. Friday's 8-6 Mountaineers win in the 1A softball championship was the final piece to the puzzle.
After falling behind early, Berlin's bats came in clutch with key hits throughout.
In the sixth, up 4-3, Elena Richey delivered a grand slam giving the Mountaineers some cushion as they'd go up 8-3. In the seventh, Fannett Metal got a couple home in the final frame, but it was the Mountaineers winning their 19th game, and taking the district crown.
Next up for Berlin-Brothersvalley, and all area teams still alive, is the PIAA State tournament.
Below is a list of baseball and softball district champions in districts V, VI and IX.
