Vinny Sarcone’s two-out single scored Carter Shanafelt and capped Peters Township’s four-run bottom of the seventh inning as the Indians rallied for a 5-4 win over West Allegheny in the WPIAL Class 5A quarterfinals Wednesday night at W&J’s Ross Memorial Park.

Peters Township (14-6) advances to next week’s quarterfinals against third-seeded Penn-Trafford.

PT trailed 4-1 entering the bottom of the seventh and scored all four of its runs after two outs in the inning. A Shanfelt single scored Steve Laurence to pull PT to within 4-2. Joey Bedillion followed with a double that scored Jack Natili and Will Somers, tying the score at 4-4. 

Two pitches later, Sarcone’s single won the game.

Hampton had too much Ryan Apalski for Ringgold.

Apalski, a senior right hander, fired a one-hit shutout and struck out 17, leading Hampton to a 9-0 win in a Class 4A first-round game.

Apalski walked one one batter and gave up a single to the Rams’ Hunter Mamie.

Hampton had five extra-base hits, including a home run and triple by Eric Weeks.

• Plum’s Brady Dojonovic struck out 11 and allowed one run over six innings, sparking the Mustangs to a 6-3 victory over Trinity in a Class 5A playoff game.

Plum won despite two home runs by Trinity’s Matthew Robaugh, who drove in all three Hillers runs.

Robaugh led off the game with a home run but Plum scored twice in the second inning to take a 2-1 lead. The Mustangs added four runs in the fifth.
