Halifax, in Class 1A, and Bethel Park, in Class 5A, will each go for a second straight PIAA baseball championship when the state tournament concludes Thursday and Friday at Penn State with title games in six classifications.

Halifax, the District 3 runner-up, plays District 9 champ Dubois Central; it defeated Eden Christian 9-8 last year.

Halifax is one of three District 3 teams still alive. Warwick, the Class 6A champ, plays District 11 champ Liberty. Lancaster Catholic, the Class 3A champ, meets District 6 champ Central of Martinsburg.

Central, at 26-0, is the lone unbeaten team in the field.
