In the second inning, singles by Alexis McComb, then an RBI single by Kelsey Campbell provided what would be the eventual game-winning run. McComb finished the game with two of the Titans five hits, while Kailynn Keeler added a double and Link added a single in the win.
On the mound Link was fantastic, allowing no hits or walks while striking out 16 batters. In the final inning, the Bulldogs got a runner on via an error, but with the tying run on base, Link tightened up and closed out the game.
The Titans now move into the Section II Class B semifinals where they will face off against third-seeded Schuylerville on Tuesday at 3:30 at the Adirondack Sports Complex. The Black Horses advanced to the Final Four with their 7-3 win over Hudson Falls.
Just last weekend in Mechanicville, the Titans and Schuylerville squared off, with Taconic Hills coming away with a 1-0 win.
