Despite closing out its regular-season schedule with a loss, the Freeport Area baseball team had been scoring a lot of runs en route to locking up a WPIAL playoff bid.
The Yellowjackets (11-3) finished second behind No. 4 Deer Lakes with a 9-3 mark in Section 3-AA and were riding a five-game winning streak before losing a 4-3 decision against the Lancers on May 6. Ryley Cowan drove in two runs against Deer Lakes.
Mercyhurst sophomore outfielder Ryan Siegel, a Freeport graduate, was named to the All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West Second Team in baseball.
Siegel followed up his PSAC Freshman of the Year campaign last season with a spot on the Second Team. He missed a dozen games due to injury, but still managed to hit .289 (fifth on the team) with one home run and 13 runs batted in.
Robert Morris junior Nicolas Gentile won the 800-meter run at the Doug Raymond Invitational, hosted by Kent State University in Kent, Ohio.
