KEYSER, W.Va. - Petersburg avalanched eight runs onto Keyser during the late innings of their first-round playoff contest to end the Golden Tornado's season Tuesday.

The Vikings (13-16) won 12-4, and with a 9-5 win over Keyser on Monday are the West Virginia Class AA Region 2, Section 2 champions. They won't play another playoff game until May 19 when they would face the winner of the Frankfort-Berkeley Springs series.

"They took advantage of their opportunities and we didn't," said Keyser coach Scott Rohrbaugh. "Our seven errors didn't help either. Their second pitcher, Chase Feaster came in and shut us down over four innings. He really did a good job."

Keyser finishes the season 11-16 and 5-5 in the Appalachian Mountain Athletic Conference.
