Avery Vale-Cruz struck out 14, walked none and allowed no earned runs in a complete-game win in the circle.
Third-seeded Wahconah (21-2) advanced to host Abington on Saturday afternoon in the state quarter-finals.
Vale-Cruz and Taylar Hickey started Tuesday's winning rally by earning back-to-back walks.
Olivia Iovieno singled to drive in a run and Olivia Wehner singled and scored a run during the inning, which left Wahconah with a 7-3 lead.
Elena Iovieno hit a solo home run in the fifth.
In sixth, the hosts tacked on five more runs thanks in part to a two-run triple from Vale-Cruz.
