Last week's PSAC baseball tournament at Lancaster's Clipper Magazine Stadium was downgraded to a single-elimination competition thanks to the ongoing rains that plagued central Pennsylvania.
Several teams played on Tuesday and were slated to play again until the weather forced the loser's bracket to be scrapped.
Finally West Chester University knocked off Mercyhurst 16-2 on Thursday to win the title.
Susquehannock grad Josh Heyne and Brandon Wolfe of West York are on the victorious Ram squad. Both are shown below playing for their respective YAIAA schools.
Heyne went 1-for-2 in the contest in which the Rams trailed 1-0 until scoring four runs in the fourth inning, four more in the sixth before exploding for seven in the eighth.
Heading into NCAA regional play, Heyne is hitting .295 with 20 RBIs. The redshirt freshman has also drawn 15 walks while appearing in 45 of West Chester's 51 games.
Wolfe, a West York alum, who appeared in eight games and is batting .444 (12-for-27) with three doubles. The junior has impressively not made an error in 50 chances this season, mostly behind the plate.
West Chester advanced to the title game with a 12-11 win over California University of PA. Mercyhurst got there by besting Kutztown, 9-2 in the semifinals.
