The winner reaches the title game and secures a berth in the PIAA tournament.
Spring Grove holds the highest seed remaining in the District 3 Class AAA baseball semifinals. The No. 4 Rockets (17-6) take on No. 8 Twin Valley (17-6) at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Hershey High School, with a spot in Thursday's championship on the line. Regardless of Tuesday's result, Spring Grove has already secured a PIAA tournament berth.
