YAIAA postseason: Tournament pairings, results; league cancels baseball tourney
With division titles determined in most of the spring team sports, it's time to move to the rest of the YAIAA postseason.
Singles and doubles champions have already been crowned in boys' tennis, and track and field athletes will hold their league meet on Wednesday.
Lacrosse kicks off a big tournament week with semifinals on Thursday, May 9 and the championship next week. Boys' volleyball and softball follow with their semifinals and finals next week.
Unfortunately, league officials were forced to cancel the baseball tournament on Wednesday afternoon.
"The YAIAA regrets to announce that because of the rainy spring, with more forecasted bad weather, we are canceling the 2024 YAIAA baseball tournament," the league said in a statement. "This will allow our teams to get their league make-up games in and better prepare for the PIAA District 3 tournament."
Because the league had to delay the tournament, it was scheduled to be played on Wednesday, which was only two days before the start of the district tournament. That means most pitchers used for the league tournament wouldn't have been available for the district openers.
Here is a breakdown of the pairings, sites, times and dates for each sport. This post will be updated with results and finals pairings after the games are played.
