Bethel Park, Baldwin, Mt. Lebanon, Shaler, Penn-Trafford and North Hills each recorded doubleheader sweeps in game play from last Wednesday to Sunday as teams jockey for position in the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Softball League.

The regular season is to conclude Sunday with seven scheduled doubleheaders.

As of Monday, one doubleheader — Plum and Peters Township — has yet to be rescheduled.

A point system is in place — two points for a win and one point for a game played — in determining the pairings for the playoffs, which are tentatively scheduled to begin the weekend of Oct. 22.

West Allegheny (9-3) is in first place with 30 points, followed by Montour (8-4, 28 points), Hempfield (7-5, 26 points) and North Hills (7-5, 28 points).
