District 11 baseball teams have a greater incentive to making the district championships this year after news of Coca-Cola Park being the site for this year's games was announced last week.

District 11 baseball chairman and Northampton athletic director Mike Schneider said that talks about using the IronPigs facility started two years ago to play PIAA state playoff games at the facility, but the dates didn't work out for that agenda this year.

Northwestern, Northern Lehigh and Pleasant Valley all posted baseball victories in scholastic sports action on Friday.
