Wyoming Area’s hopes of having a chance to defend the District 2 Class 4A baseball title that it won the past two seasons continued to fade when the Warriors dropped three games this week as their losing streak reached seven games.
The Warriors are 2-8 in Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 and 2-14 overall with four games remaining. They are last among 10 teams trying to land eight spots in the Class 4A tournament.
