A marathon fourth inning scoring explosion sparked Medina to a 15-1 win over rival Albion in a Niagara-Orleans League makeup game this evening at Vets Park.

The win pulls Medina back into a tie for the N-O lead with Roy-Hart at 5-0.

Leading by a narrow 2-0 margin, Medina broke the contest wide open by erupting for 12 runs in the decisive fourth inning, an uprising which included only three hits.

Aiden Paul had a two-run single and Brian Fry and AJ Seefeldt both banged out RBI singles for the only hits of the marathon inning. The Mustangs other runs came home on four wild pitches, two bases loaded walks, a hit batter and a fielders choice play.
