BRIDGEPORT — Fourth-seeded Elkins’ season came to a conclusion in a 7-2 setback to top-seed Bridgeport Monday afternoon in Class AAA, Region II action.

The Tigers finished with a 13-16 record, while the Indians (30-4) advance to the state tournament.

Owen Sondericker, who also smacked a three-run double at the plate, went the distance to earn the win, allowing no earned runs on three hits, striking out nine and walking just one.

Owen Stanley took the loss, going the first five frames and yielding six runs (four earned) on seven hits, fanning one and walking five.

The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the first when Trent Stone doubled in Dyer Barger.

Bridgeport dented the scoreboard for four runs in the third to take the lead for good on Sondericker’s bases-clearing double and Kason Baun’s RBI groundout.

Stanley’s run-producing double in the sixth cut the deficit to 4-2.

The Indians answered, however, with three runs in the home-half of the frame.

An error, Luke Rohrigh’s RBI sacrifice fly and Guy Avolio’s run-producing single accounted for the runs.

Sondericker, Avolio and Brooks Vass finished with three each in the win.

Elkins, which had defeated Keyser on Wednesday to remain alive in the postseason, would have needed two wins over top-seed Bridgeport to earn a state berth.

The Class AAA portion of the new-look state tourney begins June 9 at Marshall University’s Jack Cook Field.

The state tourney, which now features eight teams in each of the four classes, gets underway June 6 with Class A quarterfinal play.

The other state qualifier from Region II is slated to be decided today when third-seed Hampshire visits No. 2 Robert C. Byrd in the completion of a contest suspended on Friday in the third inning with the Flying Eagles holding a 4-1 lead.
