Scoring three quick runs in the first inning, Albion went on to defeat Elba 8-1 in a non league softball game Monday.

The Purple Eagles later put a lock on the win with five runs in the fifth inning highlighted by an RBI triple by winning pitcher Alana Irvine and an RBI double by Barry. A bunt by Rori Higgins also plated two runs and a single by Leah Pawlak drove in the other.

Barry, Froman and Pawlak each finished with a pair of hits.

Irvine registered 7 strikeouts in the circle.

Maddie Hall had an RBI double in the fifth inning for Elba and Brea Smith had 8 strikeouts in the circle.
