Shaler Area proved they can win big last Wednesday (they won by seven) and on Monday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged out the West Allegheny Indians 4-3. For the Titans, this counts as revenge for the 5-0 win the Indians walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2024.

Shaler Area got a great performance from Dante Deleonibus as he struck out nine batters over 5.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits.

At the plate, Shaler Area's victory was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Joey Rispoli, who scored a run while going 2-for-6. Logan Johnson also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.

Shaler Area is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.5 runs over those games. As for West Allegheny, they dropped their record down to 3-4 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight on the road.
