Putting together a clutch last inning rally, Medina nipped visiting JFK 12-11 in a season opening non league softball game at Vets Park this afternoon.
Trailing 11-7, Medina rallied for five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to claim the win on a two-run error off the bat of Karlee Cau (which included driving in the tying run) and RBI hits by Savannah Jo Thompson, Molly Cook and Harmoni Wilson which plated the game winner.
JFK had rallied from a 7-6 deficit to take the 11-7 lead by scoring four times in the top of the sixth and once in the top of the seventh.
Earlier, Medina scored twice in the first inning on a triple by Lilah Class and a two-run homer by Samantha Heschke, three times in the third on two errors and a fielders choice play and twice in the fifth on an infield out and an RBI single by Isabelle Perez for a 7-6 lead.
