Surviving a last inning scare, Medina edged past host Albion 9-8 this afternoon in a Niagara-Orleans League softball game.

Avenging an earlier season 15-8 loss, Medina built up as much as a 9-3 lead only to see Albion make the finish exciting by rallying for five runs with two out in the bottom of the seventh.

Median jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning on hits by Liz Meyer, Emilee Austin and Hailey Jakubowski.

The Mustangs made it 5-0 in the third inning on a two-run single by Max Wright.

The Medina advantage jumped to 9-2 in the sixth as a triple by Nicole Cooper capped off a three run uprising.

Albion though came battling back with one run in the bottom of the sixth on a single by Kelsey Schmitt and then five more in the last of the seventh on a double by Olivia Prest and singles by Ashley Bocach, Natalie DiCuriea, Schmitt and Meghan Hurley.

However, the Purple Eagles rally fell just short as two runners were left stranded.

Meyer and Emma Ambrose both finished with two hits for Medina as did Hurley, Schmitt, Bocach, Prest and Andrea Aman for Albion.

Defensively, Medina turned two double plays, one from Austin at third to Kelsey Evoy at first to Jakubowski at catcher in the second inning and another from Ambrose in center to Mallori Wienke at second in the fifth.

Albion is now 3-9 and Medina 2-10.
