Three big late inning scoring bursts powered Lyndonville to an 18-6 victory over visiting Alexander in a Genesee Region League softball game this afternoon.

Trailing 2-1, Lyndonville took the lead for good by erupting for 6 runs in the fourth inning on two-run singles by Brooke Robinson and Isabella Groves, an RBI sacrifice fly by Braelynn Dillenbeck and an error. Another error, a walk and a single by Alexa Robinson loaded the bases to set up the threat.

Keeping the momentum, the Lady Tigers boosted their lead to 12-2 by scoring 5 times in the fifth frame on two-run singles by Dillenbeck and Emily Dill and an RBI single by Alexa Robinson.

Alexander cut the deficit to 12-6 by scoring 4 times in the top of the sixth but Lyndonville got those back with interest in the home half of the frame. The Lady Tigers scored 6 runs in the frame on doubles by Alexa Robinson and Arnie Sturtevant and a rash of Alexander errors.

Alexa Robinson finished with 3 hits as Brooke Robinson, Sturtevant, Groves, Dillenbeck and Dill each had 2. Dillenbeck’s hits included a home run which tied the game at 1-1 in the third inning.

Lyndonville improves to 7-1 in the league and 8-1 overall.
