Batavia tops Medina in softball opener

Photo by Cheryl Wertman – Medina shortstop Miriam Fike makes a nifty catch in short left field for an out during the Mustangs 17-1 season opening non league softball loss to Batavia at Vets Park this afternoon. Fike drove in the Mustangs lone run with a fourth inning single and also triggered a double play in the fifth frame. Batavia broke the contest open early erupting for 4 runs in the first inning, 6 in the second and 5 in the third. Giana Mruczek struck out 10 in the circle and Julia Clark hit a three run home run for Batavia.
