The team will play Pittsford Mendon in the Class A state semifinals Friday, the furthest the program has advanced since a state runner-up finish in 2014. To earn a matchup with the Section 5 champions, the Garnets first needed a rally against La Salle, the Section 2 champions, on Sunday in Troy.
La Salle led 4-1 after three innings, but Rye took the lead for good in the top of the fourth. The Garnets scored four runs on singles by juniors Harry Ellis and Jamie Morris, an RBI groundout by senior Vincent Sculti, and a La Salle error.
