Belle Vernon Area head coach Tom Rodriguez has said it all season long. The Leopards need to be better than three teams if the defending Class 4A champions want to return to the playoffs.

The Leopards pounded out 10 hits and scored the deciding three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to pull out a 7-4 win over the Tigers at Tom Rodriguez Field in Washington Township.
