The Niagara-Orleans League baseball season got off to a soggy start this afternoon as rain and deteriorating field conditions caused play in the Medina at Albion game to be suspended in the third inning with the Mustangs leading the host Purple Eagles 7-3.

The two teams will conclude their N-O season opening home-and-home series at Medina on Wednesday. Today’s contest will be completed right after that game.

Albion grabbed a 2-0 lead in the second inning on a bases loaded walk and a fielders choice play.

Medina answered back with a big seven run scoring burst in the top of the third inning on an RBI single by Carter Woodworth, a double steal, two wild pitches and three errors. Leadoff singles by Aiden Papaj and Aidan Paul ignited that uprising which also included a double by Julian Woodworth..

Albion did score once in the bottom of the third on an RBI single by Jacob Hughson before play was halted.

Newfane downed Barker 19-2 in the lone N-O game completed as the Roy-Hart vs. Wilson contest was postponed.

In a Genesee Region League game, Notre Dame downed host Lyndonville 17-0.
