Local roundup: Flinchbaugh's walk-off lifts Dallastown baseball over Central York

Dallastown baseball's undefeated record was put on the line several times during Wednesday's game against Central York. The Wildcats led by as many as four runs early but surrendered the tying single in the seventh.

Then Cade Flinchbaugh brought the heroics.

Flinchbaugh led off the bottom of the seventh with a walk-off home run, giving the host Wildcats an 8-7 victory over the Division I rival Panthers.

Dallastown improved to 9-0 overall and 6-0 in division games with the victory. Central York fell to 4-4 (3-2).

The Wildcats jumped out to a 5-1 lead through two innings, scoring two in the first and three in the second. The Panthers answered to make it 5-4 by the fifth, only for Dallastown to respond with two more insurance runs. But Central battled back with two more runs in the sixth, making it 7-6. And with Wildcats ace Conner Barto on for the save, Colin Dempsey delivered the game-tying RBI single with two outs in the seventh. He was quickly upstaged.

Flinchbaugh went 2 for 3 at the plate, including a double and the homer, and finished with four RBIs in the game. Barto also went 2 for 3 as the duo had four of Dallastown's five hits. Starting pitcher Kamden Sowers pitched five innings and allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits with eight strikeouts. Flinchbaugh came on in the sixth and allowed two runs, then Barto blew the save in the seventh but picked up the win.

Alex Barger went 3 for 4 with two RBIs to lead the Panthers, while Dempsey finished 2 for 4. After Barger allowed five runs (four earned) in 1 1/3 innings, Ethan Hall threw 4 2/3 innings of relief and allowed two earned runs while striking out six. But he took the loss on Flinchbaugh's walk-off shot.

Dallastown visits Red Lion on Friday, while Central York hosts York High.
