Big Macs emerge as champs of rugged baseball section

Written by Brad Everett on .

Brad Everett's feature on Canon-McMillan baseball:

 

"If Las Vegas had released odds on who would win the WPIAL Class AAAA Section 5 baseball title this season, Canon-McMillan might have been a 100-to-1 longshot, an underdog to the fullest extent of the word.

But the Big Macs have proved that every dog has its day, or in this case, season.

There are turnaround seasons and then there is what Canon-McMillan has done this spring. No WPIAL team has experienced such a reversal of fortune. A season ago, the Big Macs were tied for last in their section. This season, they're section champions. No other WPIAL team has experienced that type of transformation this season."

Canon-McMillan lone repeat softball section champion in Class AAAA

Written by Nicholas Tolomeo on .

There was an upheaval of sorts in WPIAL Class AAAA this season with a changing of the guard in three of the four sections but the more things change, the more they stayed the same for Canon-McMillan. The defending WPIAL Class AAAA champions defended their Section 4 title successfully. Not only did the Big Macs repeat as section champions, they did it by the widest margin in the WPIAL, four games.

Canon-McMillan (15-1) was a perfect 14-0 in the section and finished four games ahead of Peters Township (16-4, 10-4). It had the section title clinched with two section games remaining.
