San Mateo County local sports roundup

No. 8 Mills 5, No. 9 Burlingame 5, suspended

The Vikings were batting in the bottom of the fifth inning, with Olivia Williams at second with one out and Taylor Whitney at the plate with a 3-1 count when the umpires ruled to suspend the game.

Now a decision has to be made: will the game resume at that point, or will the game start from scratch?

“There is a CCS playoff rule that says it’s a do-over,” said Mills head coach Chris Hammond. “It’s being elevated to the top of the house at CCS.”

Mills struck first, with Williams hitting a triple and scoring on an error to give the Vikings a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first.

The Panthers answered with four runs in the top of the second. Mills came back with two runs in the bottom of the third on a Sammi Yeung two-run RBI hit down the first-base line to close to 4-3.

Burlingame added a fifth run in the top of the fourth, but Mills tied the game with two runs in the bottom of the inning.

No. 5 Pioneer 10, No. 12 Notre Dame-Belmont 7

The Tiger led the Mustangs 7-5 after a four-run outburst in the top of the fifth, but Pioneer put up its own four-spot up in the bottom of the frame to take a 9-7 advantage before adding an insurance run in the sixth to end Notre Dame-Belmont’s season.

Asleigh Dean led the offense for NDB (15-9), going 3 for 4 with a home run and three RBIs. Megan Sarhatt collected a pair of hits and an RBI for the Tigers as well.

No. 3 Christopher 1, No. 14 Hillsdale 0, 8 innings

The Cougars walked off with the win in the CCS Division II opener in Gilroy.

Hillsdale starting pitcher Drew Aspillera was dominant, working the first 6 2/3 innings, scattering four hits while striking out eight.

But Christopher (20-8) got to the Knights reliever to pull out the win.

Hillsdale (12-14) was limited to just six hits, with Will Garratt collecting a pair.

In other Division II action, No. 10 Capuchino (15-12) hammered No. 7 Carmel (19-9), 12-2. The Mustangs will play a quarterfinal game at 2 p.m. Saturday at Half Moon Bay against either No. 15 Half Moon Bay or No. 2 Aptos. That game was postponed to 4 p.m. in Aptos Friday.

CCS semifinals, finals postponed

The CCS singles and doubles championship tournaments were postponed by the wet weather at Imperial Courts in Aptos Wednesday, wiping out the semifinal and championship rounds.

The makeup date for the final two rounds is to be determined with more rain in the forecast for Thursday.

Menlo-Atherton’s Tim Berthier, the No. 4 seed, will have to wait to play his semifinals singles match. Berthier won his first two matches Tuesday. He first topped Henry Chen of Stevenson, 6-1, 6-2 in the first round, but needed three sets to win his quarterfinal match over Josiah Myers-Lipton of Bellarmine, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3.

Berthier will face top-seeded Luke Casper in the semifinals.

The doubles tournament has three county teams in the semifinals — Menlo’s Alex Volgin and Kevin Kafayi, the No. 2 seed, will take on No. 3 seed Luke Ostrow and Maxim Lukic of Menlo-Atherton in one semifinal. The other semifinal pits the top-seeded team from Bellarmine against the surprise of the tournament — Carlmont’s Chris Cho and Daniel Arakaki, who knocked off the No. 4 seed from Saratoga in a straight-set, quarterfinal win, 6-2, 6-4.
