MCHENRY — Bryson Krumpach and Fort Cumberland put their first district loss behind them, and it led to their best performance of the summer.
Krumpach, who struggled with command in a 9-1 defeat to Garrett County on Thursday, had it all working Tuesday, pitching into the seventh inning and providing his own run support with three RBIs.
Fort Cumberland Post 13’s bats, led by Colt Resh’s three-hit day, came to life too, racking up 13 base hits to cruise to a 7-1 victory over Garrett County Post 71/208/214 at Garrett College.
“Krumpach was dealing on the bump,” Fort Cumberland skipper Brian McAlpine said. “He redeemed himself. He struggled last week against these guys. He didn’t have his breaking balls last week. Today he had pretty good command all game.
“It’s a big quality win for us. Big bounce-back win. We hit the ball really well.”
Fort Cumberland (4-2) upped its Mountain District mark to 4-1, moving two wins away from clinching the best-of-10 series. Garrett County fell to 1-5 (1-4 district).
Garrett led for a half-inning Tuesday, plating an unearned run in the first thanks to two Fort Cumberland errors.
Post 13 responded with a two-run second, and Krumpach made sure he pitched with a lead the rest of the way by clubbing a go-ahead two-bagger to left field.
The right-hander settled in by putting up 5 2/3 scoreless to end it, finishing with a line of no earned runs on five hits in 6 2/3 innings, striking out three and walking three.
“Curveball was really moving today,” said Krumpach. “Mixing in a fastball. And then at the end, I started mixing in knuckle and cutter.”
Krumpach provided himself more support with an RBI single to left in the fourth, and he capped the scoring with a sac fly to right in the seventh.
Colt Resh, who was 3 for 4, lined a 1-2 curveball to right for an RBI single in the fifth, and Myles Bascelli launched a two-run double to left during a three-run seventh.
Krumpach, Kohen Madden and Dane Van Slyke had two-hit games.
Garrett County right-hander Landon Yoder pitched into the seventh inning despite allowing 11 hits, but he was dealt the loss after getting charged with six runs in 6 1/3 frames.
“It’s one of those frustrating baseball games where we hit some balls hard and it was right at them,” Garrett manager Phil Carr said. “Landon wasn’t as sharp as he has been, but he was good enough. He kept us in the game.”
Garrett County’s lone run scored when a two-out error extended the first inning, and Ryan Bird followed with a seeing-eye single to right, which ended up under the right-fielder’s glove to allow the runner from second to score easily.
Five players combined for Garrett’s five hits.
Garrett heads to Keyser High School on Friday to face Potomac Valley (1-0) in a 6 p.m. first pitch.
Fort Cumberland hosts the Martinsburg Blue Sox at Memorial Field on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.
Post 13 has a chance to win its fifth district game on Tuesday in Cumberland, which would mean Garrett would need to beat the side in four straight games to force a one-game playoff for the title.
“Our backs are against the wall for sure now,” Carr said. “I thought maybe we could even things out tonight, but now we gotta pretty much win (out). ... We’ve gotta win some consecutive games against them.”
