⚾🏆 40 YEARS AGO TODAY 🏆⚾

On this date in 1986, the Annville-Cleona Dutchmen completed an unforgettable run to the PIAA Baseball State Championship.

Entering the tournament as the #3 seed out of District 3, the Dutchmen opened States with a win over District 4 Champion Danville before taking down District 3 runner-up East Pennsboro in the quarterfinals. They then edged District 11 Champion Salisbury, 10-9, to earn their spot in the State Championship game.

With gold on the line, Annville-Cleona outpaced WPIAL power Ford City, 9-7, to bring home the AA State Championship.

Congratulations to the members of that championship team as they celebrate the 40th anniversary of this incredible accomplishment — a proud moment in Annville-Cleona history that still stands strong four decades later.

⚾🥎 PIAA STATE PLAYOFFS BEGIN MONDAY 🥎⚾

The PIAA State Championship Tournaments for baseball and softball get underway Monday, and both Northern Lebanon teams have earned their spots in the Class AAAA field.

In a battle of Vikings, the District 3 Champion Northern Lebanon Baseball team will host District 12 runner-up Archbishop Wood at Northern Lebanon High School. First pitch is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

The Lady Vikings, the District 3 runner-up, will travel to face District 2 Champion Valley View.

First pitch is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.

Good luck, Vikings!
