Freeport's Claire Crytzer catches the ball as South Park's Katlyn Pavlick slides safely into second base during the WPIAL 3A girls softball quarterfinal playoff game at Hampton on Wednesday.

HAMPTON — How big can a single at-bat be in a game ended by the 10-run rule?

Real big.

South Park banged out 14 hits — collecting at least one hit from every spot in the lineup — in dispatching Freeport from the WPIAL Class 3A softball playoffs Wednesday with a 13-3, five-inning victory at Hampton Community Park.

“We've got some hitters,” Eagles coach Larry Mercurio said, South Park bringing a .425 team batting average into the game. “We've got girls on our bench who can hit.”

It was one of the latter who had perhaps the biggest hit Wednesday.

Freeport (11-5) had just scored three runs in the top of the third inning to pull within 4-3. Jenna Hildebrand reached on an infield error and scored on Ashley Schmidt's double to right. Ally DeJidas delivered a run-scoring triple to left and later scored on a fielder's choice.
