Smith Post scored nine runs in the first inning on its way to a 16-5 seven-inning, mercy-rule shortened victory over Horseheads Post Thursday in a losers bracket game of the American Legion New York State Championship tournament at Newburgh's Delano-Hitch Stadium.
Smith advances to face the loser of tonight's game between Anaconda and defending state champion Melvin Roads at 3 p.m. tomorrow. With the loss, Horseheads becomes the first team eliminated from the eight-team state tournament.
Smith beat Anaconda 2-1 in an earlier season matchup in Albany. The last time the Romans faced Melvin Roads was in last year's state championship game when they fell victim to a no-hitter in a 13-0 loss.
