Carter Donlin’s RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning capped a three-run rally and gave Carlynton a wild 15-14 come-from-behind victory over Bentworth Friday in a WPIAL non-section baseball game at Carlynton.
Bentworth built a 7-2 lead through 4½ innings before Carlynton’s bats came alive. The Cougars scored two runs in each of the fifth and sixth innings and added a single run in the bottom of the seventh inning on Isaac Anker’s RBI double to tie the score at 7-7 and send the game to extra innings.
Bentworth erupted for five runs in the top of the ninth inning to take a 12-7 lead, but Carlynton answered with five runs of its own to tie the game at 12-12. The first two runs of the inning came in on hit batsmen, and Noah Stiffler’s two-run double brought the Cougars to within a run at 12-11. Graydon Harvey then pulled Carlynton even with an RBI single.
Bentworth again moved in front in the 10th inning, 14-12, but the Cougars used RBI singles by Michael Jenkins and Maddox Horrell to tie the score at 14-14.
Donlin, who had struck out his first four times at bat, came through with the game-winning hit to drive in Jenkins with the winning run.
Anker led Carlynton’s 18-hit attack by going 5 for 7 with two RBIs and four runs scored. Jenkins went 2 for 4 with 5 RBIs and Eric Firle went 4 for 4 and scored four runs. Firle and Anker each had two doubles.
