Errors plagued the Deer Lakes High baseball team and propelled Mohawk to a WPIAL Class 3A playoff win on Thursday.
The 11th-seeded Warriors captured a first-round WPIAL Class 3A win over sixth seeded Deer Lakes, 6-3, at North Allegheny High School. The Lancers had four errors in the game. The first-round game was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but was moved to Thursday due to weather.
