RHINEHART TOSSES GEM FOR FALCONER

ELLICOTTVILLE — Emily Rhinehart threw a two-hit shutout with 10 strikeouts and four walks as No. 5 Falconer beat No. 4 Ellicottville 7-0 in a Section VI Class C quarterfinal Thursday.

The teams split a pair of regular-season matchups, but Ellicottville won the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association Division 4 title with a 9-1 league mark while the Golden Falcons finished 8-2.

The Golden Falcons made it 3-0 in the third. Giada Schauman led off with a walk, stole second and went to third on Nylah Sharpe’s single. After Sharpe stole second, Rhinehart hit a two-run single to right field.

Emily Zaranek doubled and scored on Rachael Swanson’s RBI single in the fourth; and with two outs in the seventh, Sharpe and Rhinehart reached on errors before Mylie Zaranek hit a three-run home run to center field.

Three first three batters of the game reached for Ellicottville. Ande Northrup walked, Riley Whitmer singled and Katie Lafferty walked, but Rhinehart got out of the inning with a pair of strikeouts and a groundout. She gave up just a single and two walks the rest of the way.

Emily Zaranek finished 3 for 4 with two doubles and a run scored; Rhinehart was 3 for 4 with two RBIs and two runs scored; and Melquist was 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI.

Falconer will travel to No. 1 Wilson for a 5 p.m. semifinal Tuesday. The Lakewomen beat No. 8 Gowanda 2-1 on Thursday.
