A big 6 run third inning scoring burst keyed Banes Machine Shop/Banes Plumbing to a 9-4 win over Tonawanda Monday to close out the Medina Women’s Softball League regular season.

Jen Masse and Sue Seefeldt both had a single and a double in the decisive frame which also included singles by Connie Heschke, Jami Chatt, Kathy Allen and Patti Page.
