School’s out for the South Side Beaver Rams; and unfortunately for the baseball team, the magic is out too.
In a showdown of teams bidding for their first PIAA Baseball Championship, it was the Lancaster Catholic Crusaders taking the 3A Crown with a 5-1 victory over South Side at Lubrano Park on the campus of Penn State University.
The Crusaders were led by starting pitcher and Kentucky-bound Dillon Marsh, who had 11 strikeouts over 7 innings, and only allowed 5 hits to the Rams, who didn’t score their lone run until two outs into the 7th.
South Side Beaver finishes their season at 17-6.

I was proud to support Innovation Works and look forward to following their use of these resources to continue helping Western Pennsylvania’s manufacturing industry flourish.”
“Innovation Works is extremely grateful for the support that Congressman Rothfus has provided both on this prize competition and to support entrepreneurs in general,” said Bob Starzynski, Director of Business Development for Innovation Works. “We are proud of our work in helping entrepreneurs connect with local manufacturing supply chains and we appreciate the Department of Energy interests in expanding this work in the energy sector.”
The AIM Offshore grant award is meant to coach U.S. scientists and engineers about basic manufacturing processes and product design. Congressman Rothfus wrote a letter in support of the Innovation Works application.
