Seneca Valley baseball team step closer to history

Written by John D'Abruzzo on .

Seneca Valley remains one of the hottest WPIAL baseball teams in Class AAAA this season.

The top-ranked Raiders (17-3) captured the Section 1-AAAA title with a perfect 10-0 record and cruised into the Quad-A playoff bracket as the No. 1 seed.

Seneca Valley advances to semifinals in Class AAAA baseball

Mike White's coverage of Seneca Valley in the baseball playoffs:

 

2013 0516 SenV Kessler"In moving one step closer to WPIAL history, the heart of the Seneca Valley baseball team was, of all things, a Coward.

Connor Coward, a junior right-hander, showed no fear against Bethel Park in a WPIAL Class AAAA quarterfinal Wednesday at Shaler's Matulevic Field. He challenged Bethel Park with a good fastball, kept the Black Hawks off balance with an excellent curve and fooled them with a solid changeup.

In short, everything worked as he tossed a one-hitter in a 2-0 Seneca Valley victory.

The win puts Seneca Valley (17-3) into the semifinals next week and puts the Raiders two wins away from becoming only the third team in WPIAL history to win three consecutive championships."
