CRESAPTOWN — The second-seeded Allegany Campers opened the postseason with their hitting shoes on, pounding out 15 hits in an 8-2 victory over 10th-seeded Boonsboro in the Class 1A West Region quarterfinals Monday at Carl Belt Field.
Hilary Lyons had four singles and two RBIs, Beth Szymanski hit a double and two singles, Bethany Landis had a double and a single, and Jenna Mathews two singles for the Campers.
Allegany (17-3) will host the winner of today’s Smithsburg-Mountain Ridge game on Wednesday, at 4:30, at Carl Belt Field.
Hayley Stankan worked her way out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the second inning and threw seven solid innings for the win, scattering eight hits and striking out five.
Despite the 15 hits, the Campers found themselves clinging to a 3-2 lead after five innings until batting around in a five-run sixth that blew the game open.
Mathews, who had two hits in the big inning, singled and scored on a double by Landis for the first run, and Bailey Ellsworth singled home Landis to make it 5-2.
Szymanski doubled to right to knock in Ellsworth, and Taran Rosenberger’s RBI single up the middle made it 7-2. After singles by Lyons and Haylie Harper loaded the bases, Mathews singled home Rosenberger with the final run.
Allegany took a 1-0 lead in the second on singles by Katie Alkire and Landis and an RBI groundout by Stankan.
Boonsboro was ready to strike back in the top of the second when the first three batters reached base. But Stankan struck out the next three to escape trouble, sending the momentum back to the Campers’ side.
Szymanski singled, stole second and scored on a single by Lyons in the third, and singled, stole second and scored on a single by Lyons in the fifth to make it 3-0.
Jess Manuel’s two-run triple in the top of the sixth brought Boonsboro (8-7) to within 3-2, setting the stage for Allegany’s big five-run bottom of the sixth.
