Montour pitcher Trent Vietmeier delivers a pitch during a WPIAL Class AAA playoff game against Indiana on Monday, May 18, 2015, at Latrobe.

Justin Dix tossed a complete-game shutout as No. 14-seeded Bishop Canevin edged No. 6 Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic, 1-0, in the WPIAL Class A baseball quarterfinals at West Mifflin.

On a day where several games were postponed because of thunderstorms, the Crusaders managed to beat the storm and the Trojans, who finished the season 14-8.

Bishop Canevin scored the winning run in the fifth inning, when Austin Liebro reached on a two-base error and came around to score when Sam Smallhoover singled to center field. Liebro jarred the ball loose during a play at the plate.

Dix had seven strikeouts for Bishop Canevin (8-6), which will play the winner of Tuesday’s quarterfinal matchup between No. 2 Greensburg Central Catholic (17-3) and No. 10 Carmichaels (13-3).

California 3, Western Beaver 1 — Garitt Woodburn tossed a complete game, did not walk a batter and struck out six to power California (18-1) to a WPIAL Class A quarterfinals playoff victory at Washington & Jefferson.

John DeFranco chipped in a double in the win.

Cory Chaffee had a double and one RBI in the loss for Western Beaver (9-6).

Steel Valley 8, Brownsville 4 — In a wild seventh inning that included just two hits, No. 10 Steel Valley (11-5) scored eight runs to erase a 4-0 deficit and win a Class AA quarterfinal at Washington & Jefferson.

In the bottom of the seventh, Radford recruit Brandon Donovan retired the top three batters in the Brownsville lineup in short order to ensure the complete-game victory.

Steel Valley will play the winner of No. 3 Neshannock and No. 6 Shady Side Academy in the semifinals.
