This is the time of year where the playoff picture in each classification gains more clarity. But in the midst of that, this was a weekend in which some solid moves were made.

In our series-to-watch of Garfield and Lincoln, Lincoln yielded some victories and the outcome was more one-sided than expected. Garfield took the series three games to none, including a zero-zero tie. Another shocking series was the three games to one series win of the Wilkinsburg Tigers organization over the first place Hill District.
