WESTFALL -The Warriors of Delaware Valley High School are off to Altoona today to play for the Pennsylvania AAAA baseball championship. They won the shot at the title Monday with a 7-1 victory over Philadelphia Area Central at the semi-final game in Coplay. The Warriors, now with a 21-2 season record, will be matched against the Blue Streaks of Manheim Township in the Lancaster Lebanon League, who won their semi-final game against Cathedral Prep to bring their season record to 26-2. The championship game will be played in Altoona at the Blair County Ballpark, the home of the Altoona Curve, the Pirates AA farm team.
