The Marion Center girls and the Homer-Center boys both took the field yesterday looking for Heritage Conference titles in softball and baseball…and both came away winners over “the Conemaughs.”
The action started in the afternoon at West Shamokin. Jake Slebodnick has the story of the girls title game.
The baseball championship game was held at First Commonwealth Bank Field in Homer City. Todd Marino has that story.
Homer-Center coach Scott Bauer had a plan to give Caleb Palmer 50 to 60 pitches, but he felt good and was on a roll, so he ended up throwing over a hundred pitches over 6 innings.
Bauer says his Wildcats are typical of other Homer-Center teams…never give up, never back down.
The official brackets have not been released yet, but if all falls into place according to the District 6 rankings, Homer-Center will enter the District Double-A baseball playoffs as the number two seed and play on Friday against number seven Northern Cambria.
United would play at West Branch; another Heritage Conference team, Cambria Heights, would visit top-seeded Bald Eagle. In Class A, Portage would play at Blacklick Valley. In Triple-A, if the rankings hold true, River Valley would play at Central Cambria.
In softball, in Class A, Penns Manor would play at Claysburg-Kimmel. In Double-A, West Shamokin would be the number two seed and host Northern Cambria or Mount Union; Marion Center would be third and play a home game against Cambria Heights. In Triple-A, River Valley would play at top seed Forest Hills.
