Aberdeen 10, Centralia 8

Aberdeen locked up second place in the 2A Evergreen Conference with a 10-8 win over Centralia on Monday in Centralia.

The Bobcats (11-4 overall, 10-3 2A Evergreen) overcame five errors to beat the Tigers (5-12, 2-11), mostly due to an offense that had 10 hits in the game, four for extra bases.

Aberdeen got on the scoreboard when clutch-hitting center fielder Rylee Hendrickson doubled in shortstop Ally Adams and pitcher Maysinn Jones in the top of the second inning.

Trailing by a run in the top of the fourth, the Bobcats regained the lead with a Madi Luce RBI single followed by a two-run base hit off the bat of standout third baseman Britten Neal to go up 5-3.

Centralia took advantage of Aberdeen defensive errors in the Tigers’ five-run fifth, but the Cats tied the game on a three-run error in the sixth.

In the top of the seventh, the Bobcats took a 9-8 lead when Jordyn Mills scored on a Madi Baker sacrifice fly and went up 10-8 on a clutch triple by Neal.

Bobcats pitcher Maysinn Jones worked around a one-out single to retire the side in the seventh and give Aberdeen the win.

Neal had three hits and three RBI while Hendrickson also had a multi-hit game for the Bobcats.

Jones earned the complete-game victory, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks with seven strikeouts.

Just one of Jones’ runs allowed was earned as Aberdeen committed five errors in the game.

The Bobcats win combined with a Tumwater loss to W.F. West means Aberdeen locked up no worse than second place in the conference standings.

Aberdeen plays at Shelton at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
