Albion trimmed Newfane 10-7 this afternoon at Vets Park in the completion of a weather interrupted Niagara-Orleans League softball game to earn a split on the day as the Purple Eagles dropped a 8-2 decision at Roy-Hart earlier in the afternoon.

A three-run home run by Meaghan Hurley capped off a four run seventh inning rally which earned Albion the win over Newfane.

Ashley Bocach also had a home run for the Purple Eagles.

In the earlier game, Roy-Hart used a big six run third inning scoring burst to key the win over Albion and improve to 11-2 on the season.

Ashley Bower, Rachel Rausch and Courtney VanBuren all had singles for the Lady Rams in the key inning which was also aided by a pair of errors.

Hurley had a triple and Kelsey Schmitt a double in the game for Albion which got the bases loaded in the seventh but Roy-Hart pitcher Taylor Fry bore down to notch a clutch game wending strikeout.

Albion finishes the N-O season at 4-10.
