CHARLESTON, W.VA. -- Saint Mary-of-the-Woods made its mark in 2022 at the River States Conference Softball Championship with some dramatic comebacks on its way to the title. 
The Pomeroys started the 2023 postseason in similar fashion, scoring five of their six runs off two-out rallies in a 6-5 victory to stay in the winners' bracket of the double-elimination tournament. 
Camryn Scott delivered the decisive run with an inside-the-park home run on a line drive to right-center field.
"Usually, if I hit to the right side, I'm getting to third (for a triple). I saw (coach Walker) waving me around and just went for it," Scott said.
The hit capped a strong comeback. Point Park jumped ahead 5-1 with a four-run second inning, forcing coach Jim Walker to bring in veteran pitcher Summer Rocha for freshman Lanna Martinez. 
There was no panic in the Pomeroys. Rocha (11-7) allowed just one hit in 5 1/3 innings to earn the win. 
And the Pomeroy offense also had a quick answer for the Pioneers. 
Justyce Rohrabaugh started a two-out rally in the top of the third with a bunt single. Jaleigh Crawford was hit by a pitch then Lyric Krause smacked a double to the right-field fence. Tori Lee replaced Krause at second with a line-drive double to left-center field.
After Lee stole third, Mikayla Mills blooped a base hit over the second baseman's head to even the game at 5-5.
Rocha allowed just one baserunner to reach for Point Park until allowing a hit with two outs in the seventh.
"I was ready to go from the beginning," Rocha said. "It feels good. It was great (to see the offense) that we were able to rally straight back. We were all ready to go. No one wanted to lose this game."
Rohrabaugh was 2 for 4, adding a run in the first when she singled and stole second. Crawford connected for a ground-rule double to left-center to score her.
