PIAA postpones Mt. Lebanon, Shaler baseball state semifinals to Tuesday

WPIAL champions Mt. Lebanon and Shaler were among the baseball teams who had their PIAA semifinals postponed due to rainy weather Monday.
Mt. Lebanon made the two-hour trip to Mt. Aloysius College in Cresson, but because the first game of a scheduled doubleheader was delayed by rain and because the field has no lights, the game was postponed. The Blue Devils will meet Cedar Cliff at 2 p.m. Tuesday at Mt. Aloysius instead.
Shaler, meanwhile, will face Bonner-Prendergast at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Hershey. The Titans’ game was postponed Sunday night.
Shaler is 220 miles from Hershey, so the team must travel more than three hours. Bonner-Prendergast, a member of the Philadelphia Catholic League, has a 90-minute trip.
The PIAA also delayed the start time to 5:30 p.m. for Monday’s state semifinal between Hopewell and Bellefonte at Homer City.
