Last spring Lyndonville compiled a near perfect 12-1 Genesee Region League softball record to earn a share of the Division 2 title.

Now, with their lineup returning nearly intact, the Lady Tigers are again looking to compete for top G-R League honors.

The Lady Tigers veteran group is led by a trio of G-R All-Stars including senior shortstop Brooke Robinson, junior infielder Hannah Fox and sophomore pitcher Arnie Sturtevant.

The large veteran contingent also includes seniors Isabella Groves (first base), Ryland Townsend (outfield/second base), Barbara Jary (outfield), and Emily Dill (outfield) along with sophomore Alexa Robinson (catcher) and freshman Braelynn Dillenbeck (pitcher).

Rounding out the Lady Tigers roster are junior Destinee Holmes and freshman Natalie Rath.

“Our pitching is back and we should be a solid contender for the title,” said Coach Joe Moore.

The Lady Tigers graduation losses included G-R All Star catcher Addison Dillenbeck and third baseman Emma Frees.

Lyndonville is scheduled to begin tuning up for the April 3 G-R League home opener against Wheatland-Chili by visiting Wilson on March 27.

The Lady Tigers posted a 19-3 overall record last year.
