Playing at Greater Latrobe High School, the Jethawks outlasted the Eagles in a game that included a rain delay and was also halted when the field lights went out. In the process, Latrobe secured its sixth D31 title, and the third in four years, as the Jethawks went back-to-back in 2021 and 22. Latrobe posted a record of 16-0-3 in league play during the regular season, and went a perfect 5-0 in the postseason. In the title contest, Cole Short worked into the sixth inning to earn the win for Latrobe, allowing just three hits and walking four, while racking up five strikeouts. Jack Stynchula worked two innings of relief to complete the shutout, permitting just one hit. Offensively, Haden Sierocky paced the Jethawks, as he compiled a pair of hits with three RBIs, while Erick Batista had a single, a walk, and scored a run. Max Bernadowski posted three hits in the setback for Murrysville. However, the Jethawks season ended over the weekend in the Region 7 Tournament in Claysburg, as Latrobe lost 4-0 against Bedford on Saturday and fell 7-2 to Murrysville on Sunday. In addition to the Eagles, Bushy Run and Hempfield East also remain alive in the Region 7 tourney, as the Beavers smashed Philipsburg 9-1 on Sunday, while the Mud Dogs edged St. Michaels 3-1.
