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.
