Quaker Valley's baseball team had an awesome season. Click here to read Ryan Riordan's North story.

"Quaker Valley's baseball season came to a close Monday, but not before the Quakers had one of the best seasons in school history.

The Quakers (23-2) had an undefeated regular season, a WPIAL Class AA runner-up finish and a PIAA semifinal appearance. They were just the second team in school history to reach the WPIAL baseball final, joining the 1984 squad that won the district title and suffered its only loss in the PIAA semifinals.

"I think the way I would characterize this season is the same way I would characterize our kids -- awesome," coach Todd Goble said following his team's 7-0 loss to Beaver Area in the Class AA state semifinals Monday at Pullman Park in Butler."

Ryan Riordan's feature on the Quaker Valley baseball team:

 

"For the first time all season, the Quaker Valley baseball team has to find a way to rebound from a loss.

The Quakers dropped a 7-1 decision to Beaver Area in the WPIAL Class AA title game Tuesday at Consol Energy Park in North Franklin, Washington County.

They were trying to become the fifth team in history to win the WPIAL title with a perfect record (South Park would accomplish the feat later Tuesday night in the Class AAA title game)."
