Josh Ludy had a double and a triple to lead the Patriots, who lost their only other one-run contest 6-5 Saturday to sectional rival Elwood. He drove in a run and scored twice.
Jay County (17-4) took a 2-0 lead after the first inning, but fell behind when the Starfires scored four times in the sixth. The Patriots came right back to tie the game in the bottom of the frame en route to the extra-inning victory.
Tony McCowan, Luke Goetz and Rhett Retter each had two hits to follow Ludy. McCowan had a double, a run and an RBI, Goetz drove in a run and Retter scored once.
Michael Jobe earned the win as he struck out both batters he faced in relief. Andy Hughes started and struck out 11 in 71/3 innings.
Jordan Sharp suffered the defeat for South Adams, giving up two runs on three hits and two walks in 11/3 innings in relief of Daniel Bollenbacher. Only one of the four runs given up by Bollenbacher, who struck out eight, in the opening six innings was earned.
Jordan Steiner finished 3-for-4 for the Starfires with a double, two RBIs and a run. Kyle DeArmond's solo home run put SAHS ahead in the top of the eighth.
