Albion escapes with narrow 18U diamond win
Surviving a big last inning comeback bid, Albion held on to nip host Alden 8-7 in a GLOW League 18U Division baseball game Thursday evening.
Trailing 8-2, Alden rallied for five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning on an error, two doubles and four singles but the rally fell just short.
Albion took the lead for good by scoring four quick runs in the first inning on an RBI single by Elliott Trapiss, an RBI sacrifice fly by Kaiden Froman, an error and a passed ball. A triple by Drew Boyce set up the opportunity.
A two-run single by Gavin Boyce later highlighted a three run third inning.
Albion plated what proved to be the game winning run in the fifth inning on an RBI single by Viktor Snyder.
Improving to 6-1-1, Albion will next host Avon in a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 10 a.m.
Tri Town 9, Lyndonville 0
In another GLOW 18U contest, Tri Town held Lyndonville hitless in posting a 9-0 win.
Tri Town scored three quick runs in the first inning and four more in the fourth.
